Imposter: The Secret Word

Everyone sees the same word. Everyone but one, who has to fake it without slipping. 3 to 12 players, one phone passed around or everyone on their own.

Everyone gets the same secret word. Everyone but one.

That's the Imposter, and they have no idea what it is. Taking turns, each player drops a clue about the word… without being too obvious. If you're a citizen, prove you know it without giving it away. If you're the imposter, lie, improvise and don't raise suspicion.

Once everyone has spoken, the moment comes: vote for who you think it is.

HOW IT WORKS • Everyone sees the secret word except the imposter • A round of clues, one player at a time • Debate and vote • Citizens win if they catch them; the imposter wins by slipping through… or by guessing the word

WAYS TO PLAY • Pass one phone around, 3 to 12 players • Or everyone on their own phone, in online rooms with a code • At home, at the pub, in the car or over a video call

WHAT'S IN IT • Thousands of words across dozens of topics: animals, food, films, sports, celebrities… • Topics made by the community, plus the ones you write • Special roles: Jester, Seer and random imposters • Drawing mode and elimination rounds • Ranks and levels: from novice to master imposter • Works offline, no sign-up needed to play on one phone

Every round is different. The fun isn't in the word — it's in the face of the one who doesn't know it.
