One word. One imposter. Can you blend in? Impostr. is the Imposter Word Game in app form: one phone, hidden roles, and one-word clues. One (or more) players don’t know the secret word and must blend in while everyone else tries to spot them. Perfect for parties, families, and game nights. Your game, your rules Multiple imposters — Choose 1, 2, or more imposters (e.g. for bigger groups). Imposter hint modes — Change how much the imposter knows: None (no hint, pure bluffing), Category (e.g. “Food”, “Movies”), Hint word, Hint phrase, or Fake word (imposter sees a different word from the same genre). Built-in categories — Food, Animals, Movies & TV, Music, Sports, Places, and many more. Turn on the lists you want; words are picked at random from everything you’ve selected. Custom word lists — make the game yours by creating your own lists. Name them, add a category, and type or paste your words. Mix with built-in lists — Use only custom lists, only built-in, or both. Perfect for — Inside jokes, themed nights, kids’ words, work events, or your favourite topics. How it works One secret word; everyone sees it except the imposter(s). Everyone gives one word as a clue in turn (e.g. “Cheesy”, “Slices” for Pizza). After the clue rounds, vote for who you think is the imposter. Reveal the word and the imposter, then start the next round. In the app One device — Pass the phone; no extra gear. Flexible setup — Player count, number of imposters, and imposter hint mode. Download Impostr., add your own word lists, pick your hint mode, and see who can blend in.
