Impostor Party Game

Why it works as a party game

Impostor party games are short social mysteries. Online they work because the host can secretly tell one player they are out, and the rest of the group has to talk.

How to play

1. The host privately tells one player they are the impostor and tells everyone else the shared task, such as a place or a chore.
2. Players take turns saying one short clue about the task. The impostor has to sound specific without knowing it.
3. After one full round of clues, the group votes. Majority sends that player out.
4. If the impostor is caught, the group wins. If the group votes out a teammate, play one more clue round.

Hosting tips

• Use a task everyone knows, like a kitchen or a commute, not an inside joke.
• One impostor is enough under eight players. Add a second only in a bigger lobby.
• Clues are one sentence. Speeches give the impostor time to copy real players.
