About Imposter Game
Imposter Game is a free word party game for groups in the same room or on a video call. Everyone gets a secret word, except the imposter, who gets a different word or none at all. You give clues, you vote, and you find out who was bluffing. It runs in any browser, with no login, no ads and no download.
Why we made it
Most of the best party games are simple: a few rules, a lot of laughing, and no setup. Phone versions often add friction that gets in the way of that: everyone installing an app, creating accounts, sitting through ads between rounds, or finding half the words locked away.
Imposter Game is our attempt at the opposite: a simple, free, no-login party game for real-world groups.One phone passed around the table should be enough. Opening a link should be enough. Starting a round should take two taps. Everything else (packs, modes, scoring, online rooms) is there for when you want it, not something you have to wade through first.
What you can do with it
- Play pass-the-phone with 3 to 20 players on one phone. It keeps working offline after your first visit.
- Play in online rooms with up to 15 players, each on their own phone, by sharing a code, link or QR code.
- Choose from 25 word packs with 1,000 pairs, or write your own and share them as a link.
- Switch between Undercover mode (the imposter has a similar word and does not know it) and Classic mode (the imposter knows and gets no word).
- Keep score across rounds, put the game on a TV with big-screen mode, and install it as an app.

Privacy, in plain words
- No accounts. You never sign up or log in.
- Pass-the-phone data stays on your device. Player names, scores and custom words are stored in your browser, not on our servers.
- Online rooms are temporary. When you play online, player names are kept only in memory while the room is active, so the game can show who is in the room and who voted.
- Optional analytics. We use Microsoft Clarity for anonymous usage analytics, which helps us see which screens confuse people. You can decline it.
- No ads. There are no ad networks on the site.
