Read full description

Impostr is a party game where players take turns describing a secret word while impostors try to blend in without knowing it. Pass one phone around as each player taps their name to see their role; innocents see the word and category, while impostors only see the category and must bluff their way through. After discussion, vote to eliminate suspected impostors. Includes a classic Mafia mode (no word, just deduction), 150+ categories, saved player groups, and a dark mode interface. Perfect for game nights with friends.

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.

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.
