How the game works
- 1Everyone sees the same secret word except the imposter.
- 2Take turns giving one clue each. The imposter bluffs along.
- 3Vote in secret. The majority decides who takes the fall.
You need 3 to 12 players. There are two ways to play: Play on this phone, where one device is passed around the table, and rooms, where everyone plays on their own phone.
Common questions
Nobody can join my room.
Room codes are 4 or 5 letters and numbers, and they are not case-sensitive. Check that everyone is entering the code from your screen — a new code is created each time you make a room. The host can also show a QR code for people to scan instead of typing.
I closed the app in the middle of a game.
Open the app, choose Join a room, enter the same room code, and type exactly the same name you were using. You will get your seat and your score back. Your teammates do not have to restart.
The game will not start.
A round needs at least 3 players in the room. If you are testing on your own, use Play on this phone instead — it runs a full game on a single device.
Playing with two imposters instead of one needs at least 5 players.
We do not all speak the same language.
Pick two packs on the setup screen. When two are on, only words both sides are likely to recognise get dealt, and the categories that depend on one culture sit out for that game.
The words are too hard, or too easy.
The host can change the categories at any time from Settings in the room. You can also change what the imposter sees: nothing at all, just the category, or a vague clue to bluff with.
If a particular word is unfair, the host can deal a different one without restarting the round.
Do I need an account?
No. The whole game works without signing in. An account only exists so your scores follow you to another device, and you can sign in with a mobile number or with Google.
How do I delete my account and data?
Email us from the address or number on the account and we will delete it. What we store and why is set out in the privacy policy.
Something is broken
Tell us what happened, what you expected instead, and which device and app version you are on. If it happened in a room, the room code helps us find it.
