Imposter rules

1

Gather the suspects

Everyone joins the game. One player becomes the Imposter (gets a similar but different word), one might be Mr. White (gets nothing—good luck), and everyone else is a Civilian who knows the secret word.

2

Check your card

Players take turns viewing their secret card privately. Swipe to reveal your role and word. Civilians see the real word, the Imposter sees a decoy, and Mr. White is flying blind.

3

Give a clue

Players take turns giving ONE word clue related to the secret word. Civilians hint without being too obvious. Imposters bluff to blend in. Mr. White improvises and prays.

4

Debate and accuse

After the clue round, everyone debates. Who gave a suspicious clue? Who's trying too hard? Trust no one—especially the person defending themselves.

5

Vote someone out

The group votes to eliminate one player. Their role is revealed. If it's Mr. White, they get one last chance to guess the secret word and steal the win.

6

Win conditions

Civilians win by eliminating all threats. Imposters win when they match or outnumber the Civilians. Mr. White wins by guessing the word or being the last one standing with the Imposter gone.
