Decoy: Imposter Word Game

The imposter party word game, rebuilt.

One phone. Everyone gets the same secret word, except one player: the Decoy. Say your clues out loud, sniff out the faker, and vote them out. Or, if you are the Decoy, blend in and steal the win. It is the social-deduction party game your group will actually keep playing.

There are a lot of imposter games. Here is what makes Decoy different.

A HUGE, HAND-CHECKED WORD LIBRARY
70+ categories and thousands of hand-crafted word pairs, every one checked by hand so the Decoy's hint is a close cousin, not a random word. Other apps recycle a few hundred words. Decoy remembers what you have played and rarely repeats. And the library stays current: whole categories for Anime & Manga, Movies, and today's biggest games, plus 90s & 2000s, Actors and YouTubers for retro consoles, screen stars and the internet's biggest creators. Pick one category or mix several at once, search the whole library, and star your favourites.

WRITE YOUR OWN WORD PACKS, FREE
The most-requested feature in the genre, and in Decoy it costs nothing. Type your own word pairs right in the app (inside jokes, classmates, your home town) and play them like any other category. Your packs live on your phone and nowhere else.

PICK YOUR DIFFICULTY
One dial sets the whole vibe:
• Chill: easy, familiar words, with a hint word and short definitions shown. Great for mixed ages.
• Classic: balanced words. The Decoy gets a close hint word, but no definitions.
• Fiendish: tricky words and a blind Decoy, with no hint word and no definitions.

SMARTER WORDS
Decoy does not just hide the word. The Decoy gets a close hint (everyone has "Bee", the Decoy has "Honey"), so clues are sneaky and the bluffing is real. Dealt a pair your table already knows? Swap it for a fresh one before anyone peeks.

SPECIAL ROLES, ONE-TAP SETUP
Switch on special roles for chaos:
• Double Agent: knows the word and secretly helps the Decoy.
• The Blank: a second Decoy-side player with no word at all.
• Jester: wins if you vote them out.
• Oracle: one secret check per game.
Plus Mystery Decoys (1 or 2, count hidden from the table) and two-Decoy mode. In a hurry? One tap on a preset (Classic, Party, Spies or Chaos) sets a coherent line-up for you.

100% OFFLINE. NO ADS, NO ACCOUNTS.
No Wi-Fi, no sign-up, no data collected, no ads. Just grab 3 to 12 friends and one phone. Decoy plays in 11 languages: the word pairs themselves are translated, not just the menus. Perfect for parties, road trips, classrooms, and family game night.

FREE TO PLAY, PRO IF YOU WANT
Play free forever: Surprise Me, a wide set of starter categories to pick from, your own custom word packs, and the full-length game with no timers or nags. Decoy Pro is a one-time unlock, with no subscription ever, that opens the rest of the category library to choose from, adds the special roles, and lets you hide two Decoys. Every future update is included.

Find the Decoy. Or become one.
