IMPOSTER is a pass-and-play party word game for friends, families, and groups. Most players see the same secret word. One or more imposters only see a clue. Take turns talking, asking questions, and reading the room. When the discussion ends, vote for the player who does not know the word. Create quick rounds with flexible player counts, categories, difficulty levels, and language options. AI-assisted round generation can help create fresh words and clues across supported languages and categories, while static fallback content keeps the game moving when needed. Designed for in-person play: - Pass one phone around the group - Reveal each role privately - Choose categories and difficulty - Play with one or two imposters - Use optional imposter clues and round timers - Start a new round in seconds Generated content may vary. The app is built for casual group play, conversation, and bluffing, not for competitive ranking or online matchmaking.
