A quick bluffing game for any group
Pass the phone around: every player privately sees the same secret word – except the impostor, who only learns that they are the impostor (and, if you like, the category). Then each player in turn says one word or short clue related to the secret word.
The trick: say enough to prove you know the word, but not so much that the impostor can guess it. After a round or two of clues and a short discussion, everyone votes. If the group catches the impostor, the impostor can still win by guessing the secret word! In the similar word variant the impostor gets a slightly different word – and doesn’t even know they are the impostor.
How to use
- Enter names or a number of players and choose a category.
- Tap Deal words and pass the phone around – each player looks once.
- Starting with the player shown, everyone gives one clue.
- Discuss, vote, then tap Reveal.
Ideas for using it
- Secret word “Beach”. clues: “towel”, “waves”, “holiday”… the impostor says “water” and hopes for the best.
- Similar word. most get “Coffee”, one player gets “Tea”.
- Big group. with 6 or more players, try 2 impostors.
- Family. food and animals are great categories for kids.
