Scout Impostor is the classic impostor party game for groups: 3 or more players, a single phone, lots of laughs. HOW IT WORKS Everyone passes the phone to see their secret word — everyone except the impostor, who gets no word. In turns, each player drops a clue related to their word. The impostor has to bluff as if they knew the word too. After a discussion round, the group accuses and votes by show of hands to find out who the infiltrator was. WHO IT'S FOR For groups of friends, families, long dinners, road trips, camps, and any place where people want to laugh together face to face. Ages 8 and up. FEATURES • Play with 3+ players on a single device • 7 word categories: animals, food, places, professions, movies, sports and scout • Create your own custom categories • 1 or more impostors per round • Adjustable discussion timer • Light and dark theme • 42 languages 100% OFFLINE, NO STRINGS No network, no accounts, no sign-up, no ads, no in-app purchases, no data collection.

The app carries a small fleur-de-lis as a tribute and a dedicated category of scout-themed words, but the game is meant for any group. The important part isn't the phone: it's being with the others, talking, laughing, looking at each other. Have a good game. PRIVACY 100% offline. All settings stay only on your device.
