How the hint works

Each word has a one word hint. In the app, if the hint option is on, the imposter sees the hint and the category but not the word. So for Pizza, the imposter only sees "Delivery" and "Food". That gives them just enough to bluff. Playing without the app? Write the word on slips of paper for everyone, and give the imposter a slip with only the hint.

Questions

What words are good for the Imposter game?

Everyday things everyone knows, like foods, places and animals. If the word is too rare, the real players cannot give clues without giving it away.

How do you play Imposter?

Everyone sees the same secret word except the imposter. Take turns giving one word clues, then vote on who is faking it. If you catch the imposter, the group wins.

What is the hint for?

It gives the imposter a vague nudge so they can bluff. It is optional. Turn it off for a harder game.

How many players does Imposter need?

At least 3, and it is best with 5 to 8. With 6 or more you can play with 2 imposters.
