Pass the phone. Read your secret question. Answer out loud. Then work out who received the twist. QWIST is a local party game for 3–16 players sharing one phone. Most players receive one question, while hidden imposters receive a different question. Everyone answers, compares clues, and votes. CHOOSE HOW TO PLAY • One Round: vote once, then reveal every role. • Elimination: keep the same secret roles across rounds until the group catches every imposter—or the imposters take control. MAKE IT YOUR GAME • Pick 1–4 imposters. • Mix question categories. • Use an optional discussion timer. • Keep score when you play another round. • Play in English, Serbian, German, Spanish, French, or Italian. • Play the core game offline—no account or login needed.
