Imposter Game Rules
Everything you need to run a game: how the secret word is dealt, how clue rounds and voting work, how points are scored, and the tactics that decide close games.
The basic rules
One player is secretly the imposter and never sees the word. Everyone else shares the same secret word. Across up to three rounds, players give clues and vote.
- All players but one receive the same secret word.
- Each round every player gives one clue out loud or in chat.
- The group votes; a tie means nobody is eliminated and the imposter survives.
Scoring
Points reward both catching the imposter and surviving as one.
- +2 points for each round you vote for the imposter.
- +2 points for each round the imposter survives.
- Bonus of 10 points for a perfect game.
