HOW TO PLAY

From zero to impostor in 6 steps

01

Create a Room

Click "Create", enter your name. You get a 6-character room code — share it with your crew.

02

Everyone Joins

Friends open the app, click Join, type the room code and their name. Works on any phone or browser — no install needed.

03

Get Your Secret Word

When the host starts the game, every player gets a word privately on their screen. One or more players get a different (but similar) word — those are the impostors!

04

Give Clues in Turn

Each player says one related word as a clue in their turn. You have 30 seconds. Crewmates try to hint at their word; impostors try to blend in without revealing they have a different word.

05

Discuss & Vote

After all clues are in, a live chat opens for discussion. Then everyone votes for who they think is the impostor. Voting is anonymous.

06

Eliminate & Repeat

The player with the most votes is eliminated. Crew wins by kicking out all impostors. Impostors win if they outnumber the remaining crew.

FEATURES

Everything packed in, nothing held back

Real-Time Multiplayer

Every action — clues, votes, eliminations — appears live on everyone's screen simultaneously.

Private Word Assignment

Words are delivered secretly to each player's device. The server never broadcasts assignments.

Discussion Chat

A live chat opens during the vote phase so players can debate before casting their vote.

Auto Timers

30 s clue timer, 45 s vote timer. If you run out of time, a placeholder clue is auto-submitted so the game never stalls.

Mobile-First

Designed for phones. No app to install — open the link and you're in.

Up to 16 Players

Works with 3 to 16 players in a single room. Great for house parties, team icebreakers, or remote hangouts.

Multiple Impostors

The host can set 1–8 impostors before the game starts, scaling difficulty to your group.

No Account Needed

Just a name. Rooms expire automatically after 24 hours — nothing is stored long-term.
