Pass one phone around, then find the imposter. Free, with no signup.

Pass the phone to
Hand it over, then tap below. Nobody else looks.
Time to talk
Everyone has seen their word. Find the imposter.
- Go around the group. Each person says one word that hints at the secret word.
- Be vague enough that the imposter can't guess it, and clear enough that your side knows you know.
- Do a second round if you like, then everyone points at who they think the imposter is.
Hint order
The secret word was
If the group picked the imposter, the imposter gets one guess at the word. A right guess steals the win.
How to play
- Pick players and a word set. Three to twelve people, one phone.
- Peek in turn. Each person taps to see a secret word, then hides it and passes the phone. One person sees "You're the imposter" instead.
- Talk, then vote. Say one-word hints out loud. Point at who doesn't seem to know the word.
For classrooms and teams
No accounts, no app and nothing for students to sign up for. It works on a phone, a tablet or a classroom computer, and the Vocabulary set is a quick way to review words. It also works as a warm-up or icebreaker for a meeting or training day.
