How to use them

Food clues give the word away fast, because "cheese" or "spicy" points at only a few dishes. Tell players to clue how or when it is eaten instead of what is in it.

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.
