How to use them

The imposter can hide here for a long time, because "four legs" and "lives outside" fit half the list. Push players to give one clue that is true of this animal and few others.

To play with paper: write one word on every slip but one, write Imposter on the last, and deal them face down. Take turns giving a one-word clue, then vote on who has the odd slip.

To play on your phones: start a room and send the link. Everyone sees the secret word except the imposter, the app shows whose turn it is to give a clue, and the room votes. 3 to 12 players, free, with no app and no sign-up.
