Do you need internet?
No. The game runs on one phone with no connection and no account.
What does the imposter see?
A card that says they are the imposter. With hints on, they also get a short clue, such as "shared box" for pizza. They never see the word.
Can the imposter win after being caught?
Yes. When the group names the imposter, the imposter gets one guess at the word. If it is right, the imposter side wins the round.
How many imposters should we use?
One for 3 or 4 players. Two from 5 players and three from 7 are the most the app allows. You can also pick random. The crew is always the majority.
How does the vote work?
Everyone points at who they think the imposter is. One person taps the player with the most votes. If the group cannot agree, tap Nobody, and the imposter wins.
Who goes first?
The app names a random player, chosen separately from who the imposter is.
Can we add our own words?
Yes. Add a list with one word per line, and an optional hint after a vertical bar, for example pizza | shared box.
What categories are there?
74 across all languages, from Food and Animals to First Date and Spooky, plus packs such as Bollywood Buzz, Anime Culture and Khaleeji Life. Which packs show depends on your language. See the word lists and word packs.
Is it free?
Free to download on iPhone and Android, with no ads. 15 English categories are free. Premium unlocks the rest: $2.99 a month, $24.99 a year or $29.99 once.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes, in 15: English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Turkish, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Words download for your language the first time you play it. See Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Turkish.
What is the difference between this and Mafia, Spyfall or Undercover?
All four hide a role. In the imposter game, one person lacks a word and bluffs it with one-word clues. In Spyfall the secret is a location. In Undercover, players get similar but different words, and Mr. White gets none. Mafia needs a narrator and eliminates players at night.
