How to play Imposter
Everyone gets the secret word except the imposter. Pass one phone around, give clues, then vote out the player who is bluffing.
How to play Imposter
- Enter 3 to 20 player names, then choose the number of imposters, a category, the hint option and an optional discussion timer.
- Pass the phone: each player taps Reveal my word in private, reads their card, taps Hide and hands the phone on.
- Give one clue each, vote for the imposter, then reveal who it was and play again with the same players.
How many players do you need for the Imposter Game?
At least three and up to twenty, all sharing one phone, tablet or computer. You can use one imposter with three to five players, up to two from six players and up to three from nine players.
Does it work offline on one phone?
Yes. One device is all you need: each player reveals their card in private and passes it on. Once you press Start playing, every round runs in your browser, so a weak signal will not interrupt the game. Player names are saved on that device only.
Is it free, and do I need an app?
It is free, with no app, download or account. Open this page in any modern browser and start a round.
How do the imposters win?
The imposters win if the vote misses any imposter or names an innocent player. The crewmates win only when the vote names every imposter and nobody else.
