Fox & Faker: Find the Imposter

Everyone sees the secret word. Everyone except one. Pass one phone, give one clue each, then vote in total secret. Can you catch the Faker before they fool you?

Everyone sees the same secret word. Everyone except one.

That one is the Faker. They have no idea what the word is, so they have to fake it. Nod along. Give a clue. Sound like they belong. Everyone else has to work out who it is before the vote.

One phone, passed around the table. That is the whole setup.

HOW IT PLAYS

1. Pass the phone. Everyone takes a private look at the secret word. One player learns they are the Faker.
2. Go round the table. Each player gives a one-word clue. Say too much and you hand it to the Faker. Say too little and you look like the Faker.
3. Vote in secret. The phone goes round again, and nobody sees anybody else's vote.
4. Find out together. Did you catch the liar, or did they walk away with it?

VOTING IN TOTAL SECRET

Most party games have you point and shout. Fox & Faker passes the phone back round so every vote stays private. No bandwagons, no loudest-voice-wins, and ties get broken properly. It changes how the whole table plays.

WHAT IS INSIDE

Ten themed categories: Animal Kingdom, Food & Culinary, Sports & Games, Movies & Cinema, Countries & Geography, Pop Culture & Celebrities, Science & Technology, History & Mythology, Art Literature & Music, and Cities & Landmarks.

A thousand words in every language pack and more than five thousand in total, each one written with its own clue.

Five word packs: English, French, Spanish, Vietnamese and Chinese. Each is written for its own table rather than machine translated, so the French pack knows its own films and the Vietnamese pack knows its own food. App menus are in English.

Three categories are free in every language and stay free.

BUILT FOR A REAL TABLE

Three players or more, and you can add as many as you like. One phone. Your friends install nothing. No accounts. No sign-up, no email, no password. No internet needed to play. Easier Words mode for mixed groups and anyone new to the game. Optional hints to give the Faker a fighting chance. Voting can be switched off for a faster, shout-it-out round.

PRIVACY

You never make an account, so there is nothing about you to leak. Anonymous usage analytics are hashed on your device before they leave it, the first tutorial screen tells you about them, and you can turn them off in Settings › Privacy › Usage Analytics.

WHAT COSTS MONEY

Three categories are free and stay free. Extra categories are one-time purchases that are yours forever. The Everything Collection unlocks every category and pack available today in a single purchase. Expansion packs released later are sold separately. There is no subscription, and there never will be.
