How to play Imposter online
Everyone sees the secret word on their own phone, except the imposter.
Take turns giving a short clue. Too obvious and the imposter catches on; too vague and you look like the imposter.
After every round, everyone picks: vote out the imposter now, or another round of clues. A tie means another round.
Catch the imposter and the room wins, unless they can guess the word.
3 to 12 players, in the same room, on a call or by text chat. Free, with no app and no sign-up.

Questions people ask
How do you play Imposter?
Everyone gets the same secret word except one player, the imposter. Each round you give a short clue, then everyone votes on who the imposter is. The imposter wins by staying hidden or guessing the word.
How many players do you need?
3 to 12. One person starts a room and sends the link; everyone else joins on their own phone.
Can we play in the same room, or over a call?
Both. Pick Out loud and say your clues to each other, in person or on a call; the app shows whose turn it is. Or pick Type them and give clues in the room's chat.
Is there a Christmas or Thanksgiving version?
Yes. Pick the Christmas or Thanksgiving word pack when you start a room.
Does the imposter get a hint?
By default, yes: one hint word, like Dessert when the word is Cake, so they can bluff and make an educated guess. Turn it off under More options for a harder game.
