Everyone gets a secret word except the imposter. Give one clue each, then vote out who is faking it. Pass one phone around or play online with friends.
4 players · 1 imposter
Random mix · Undercover mode
The fun is in the clues. Say too much and the imposter learns your word. Say too little and you look suspicious. If the imposter is caught, they get one last chance to guess the civilians’ word and steal the win. Read the full rules and scoring.
One phone for the whole group, perfect for parties, road trips and family nights. Up to 20 players. It works offline once loaded, and you can choose hold-to-peek, tap-to-peek or personal PINs for groups that like to be strict.
Everyone uses their own phone, in the same room or on a video call. The host shows a QR code that friends scan with their camera, or shares a link or 6-character code. Each player sees only their own word, and votes on their own phone. Up to 15 players. How online rooms work.
No need to type words before you start. Pick one or more packs, use the random mix, or add your own words for inside jokes.
Many party apps lock their best word packs or online play behind a subscription. Imposter Game doesn’t. Everything below is free, with no ads, no account and no in-app purchases.
Undercover is the sneaky version, also known as the undercover word game or “who is the spy”. The imposter gets a close word, like Coffee instead of Tea, and does not know they are the odd one out. Classic tells the imposter who they are and gives them no word, so they have to bluff from the clues, much like Spyfall or The Chameleon. See how it compares in our Spyfall alternative guide.
Easy words for kids, mixed-age packs for family night, a quick icebreaker for the office or the classroom, and seasonal packs for Christmas and Halloween parties.
The imposter game is a social deduction party game. Everyone gets the same secret word except the imposter, who gets a different word or none at all. Players take turns giving one clue each, then vote on who they think the imposter is. Civilians win if they catch the imposter; the imposter wins by blending in.
You need at least 3 players. Pass-the-phone mode supports up to 20 players on one phone, and online rooms hold up to 15 players, each on their own phone. The game suggests how many imposters to use: 1 for 3 to 7 players, 2 for 8 to 12, and 3 for 13 or more.
Yes, it is completely free with no ads, no account, no app download and no in-app purchases. Open the page and tap Quick Play.
Pass-the-phone mode works offline after your first visit, and you can install it to your home screen like an app. Online rooms need an internet connection because every player connects from their own phone.
In Undercover mode the imposter gets a similar but different word (for example Pizza vs Burger) and does not know they are the imposter. In Classic mode the imposter is told they are the imposter and gets no word, optionally with a small hint.
Yes. Add your own word pairs under My words, mix them with the built-in packs, and share your custom pack with friends as a link. There are also 1,000 built-in pairs in 24 family-friendly packs, plus an optional 18+ party pack.
The built-in packs are family-friendly by default, and there is an easy Kids pack. The 18+ Party pack is hidden behind a toggle and is never selected unless you turn it on.
No. Every feature is free for everyone: all 1,000 words, online rooms with QR invites, custom word packs, both game modes, timers, scores and the big-screen mode. There are no ads, no premium tier and no in-app purchases.
With “Keep playing after a wrong vote” switched on (the default), the imposter stays secret and the host chooses: start another clue round without the voted-out player, or reveal the imposter. The imposter wins automatically once imposters equal the civilians left.
Yes. Create an online room, share the invite link or QR code, and everyone sees their word on their own phone while you talk on Zoom, Google Meet, Discord or any other call.
