Imposter Game Online
Everyone gets a secret word — except one sneaky imposter!
How to play Imposter
Imposter is a word game for 3 to 12 players and one phone. Everyone knows the secret word except the imposter, who has to bluff.
- Sit together and enter everyone’s name. Pick a category: animals, foods, places, jobs, sports or at home.
- Pass the phone around. Each player presses the card to see the secret word. One player sees “You are the imposter” instead, plus the category if the hint is on.
- Take turns saying one word about the secret. Clear enough to show you know it, but not so clear that the imposter can guess it.
- When the timer runs out, pass the phone again: everyone votes in secret for the player they suspect.
- If most votes land on the imposter, the crew wins. A wrong pick or a tie, and the imposter wins.
Tips
- Imposter: listen first, then say something that fits almost anything in the category.
- Crew: watch who hesitates or only repeats other people’s ideas.
- Six players or more? Turn on two imposters for double the chaos.
