One phone. Everyone plays. No accounts, no wifi, no waiting. Time Imposter is eleven party games built around a phone being passed round a table. Each takes thirty seconds to explain and about a minute to play, and every one of them ends with somebody being wrong in front of their friends. IMPOSTER — FREE, FOREVER Everyone gets the same secret — a time, an age, an amount — except one person. Talk it out, work out who was faking, and vote. TEN MORE MODES • Hit the Target — start and stop a timer you can't see, as close to the target as you can • Minefield — hide bombs under your own squares, hunt the diamonds under theirs • Don't Bust — one hidden timer shared by everyone. Add as much as you dare • Hot Potato — a bomb with a fuse nobody can see. Throw the phone • Chicken — run your timer as close to an invisible ceiling as you dare, and stop before it • Lights Out — five lights come on, then go out at a random moment. Tap the instant they do • Guess the Gap — two beeps with a pause between them. Copy that pause exactly • Double-Tap Speed — tap twice as fast as humanly possible • Countdown Chain — one second, then two, then three. A new target every turn • Copy the Rhythm — four beats with different pauses. Tap them back BUILT FOR A TABLE, NOT A SCREEN Sound and haptics carry every result, so the room knows what happened without anyone reading the screen. It works with the phone face-down. Nothing needs a connection. ONE PAYMENT Imposter Timer is free and always will be. Unlock the other ten once — no subscription, no ads, no accounts.
