Features
Read full description

Someone in your group doesn't know the secret word — and they're faking it. Can you figure out who? Imposter is a social deduction word game for 3 to 10 players, played on a single device. Each round, everyone receives the same secret word — except the Imposter, who only knows the category. Players take turns giving one-word clues to prove they know the word without giving it away to the Imposter. Then the group votes: who's bluffing? HOW TO PLAY - Choose the number of players (3–10) and impostors - Pass the device around — each player swipes to secretly reveal their role - Citizens see the word. The Imposter sees only the category - Take turns giving one-word clues while a timer counts down - Discuss, debate, and vote on who you think the Imposter is - If the Imposter is caught, they get one last chance to guess the secret word! WHAT MAKES IT GREAT - No internet required — perfect for road trips, parties, and game nights - One device is all you need — pass and play - The "final guess" mechanic creates nail-biting endings every time - Fair play: automatic player rotation ensures no one has an unfair advantage CUSTOMIZE YOUR GAME - 14 word categories: Food, Animals, Movies, Sports, Technology, History, and more - 3 difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, and Hard - Adjustable turn timer - Use your own custom words for endless replayability - Multiple impostors for larger groups AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH & SPANISH Download now and find out who's the Imposter!

Imposter is a social deduction party game built for real life. Instead of everyone staring at their phones at once, a question drops, everyone answers whenever they get a moment, and then you all vote to unmask the imposter. HOW IT PLAYS • Start a game and share a room code, or tap Quick Play to jump into a public game. • A question drops. Everyone answers… except the imposter, who secretly gets a different question (or doesn't know the secret word). • When the window closes, read the answers and vote on who the odd one out is. • Catch the imposter to score — or get away with it if you're the sneaky one. TWO MODES • Different Question — the imposter answers a slightly different prompt. • Secret Word — everyone gives clues to a word the imposter doesn't know. FACTIONS Create a Faction with your friends or coworkers, chat together, and get an automatic daily game at a time you choose. Climb your Faction's standings and the global Faction league table. PLAY YOUR WAY • Speed games with 1-minute rounds, or relaxed async windows up to a few hours. • Choose how many questions a game lasts. • Themed packs: Work Classics, Hot Takes, Get Personal, and Totally Random. • A hidden leaderboard keeps scores secret until the game ends — no peeking for clues. MADE FOR ASYNC Get a nudge when a question drops and before time runs out. Play between meetings, no scheduling required. Great for remote teams, friend groups, and anyone who likes a little friendly suspicion with their coffee break.
