Who the video games pack suits

This pack is for gamers of every kind, from mobile players to console fans and PC regulars. The pairs match games that share a genre or a fanbase, so the arguments start long before the vote. It suits teens, students, Discord groups and any friend circle that plays together online.

Sample rounds and clues

Minecraft vs Roblox. "Building" and "kids love it" fit both. "Creeper" or "blocks" points at Minecraft, while "Robux" exposes Roblox.
Fortnite vs PUBG. Both are battle royales. "Drop in" and "last one standing" are perfect shared clues. "Building" is a risk.
Super Mario vs Sonic. A rivalry older than many players. "Mascot" and "platformer" fit both, "speed" leans towards Sonic.

Other great pairs: Call of Duty vs Battlefield, Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat and Pac-Man vs Space Invaders.

Making it easier or harder

Not everyone plays the same games. In Classic mode the imposter knows their role and may see a hint like "Blocky sandbox game", which helps casual players. In Undercover mode the imposter simply gets the rival game and has to realise from the clues that they are on the wrong server.

Gaming friends spread across different homes can each join from their own phone with the online imposter game. You can also combine this pack with superheroes or add the games your group actually plays as custom words.

Gamers tend to know these titles well, so the first clue matters most. Encourage early speakers to describe a feeling, such as "late nights" or "rage quitting", rather than a mechanic.
