Question 1

Impostor word game kya hai?

Accepted Answer

Imposter is a free social deduction word party game. All players pass a single phone and secretly view their assigned word. One player — the Imposter — receives a similar but different word and must bluff their way through the discussion without being caught.

Question 2

Impostor kaise khele?

Accepted Answer

1. Enter player names. 2. Choose a word category and game mode. 3. Pass the phone — each player taps to reveal their word privately, then passes it on face-down. 4. Everyone discusses clues without revealing the word directly. 5. Players vote to identify the Imposter. If they're right, Civilians win. If the Imposter survives the vote, the Imposter wins.

Question 3

How many players do you need for Imposter?

Accepted Answer

3 to 20 players. The sweet spot is 5–10 players — enough to hide the Imposter in a crowd without the discussion dragging on too long.

Question 4

Word pairs mechanic kya hai?

Accepted Answer

In Imposter mode, Civilians all receive the same secret word (e.g. 'Dog') and the Imposter receives a closely related but different word (e.g. 'Wolf'). This means the Imposter actually knows something — making bluffing and detection much harder and more interesting than classic imposter games where the Imposter gets nothing at all.

Question 5

What is the difference between Imposter mode and Classic mode?

Accepted Answer

In Imposter mode, the Imposter receives a similar but different word (word pairs mechanic). In Classic mode, everyone gets the same word except the Imposter, who gets nothing. Classic mode is harder for the Imposter to survive since they have zero information.

Question 6

Impostor kaise jeet-ta hai?

Accepted Answer

The Imposter wins if the group votes out the wrong person — or if the Imposter correctly guesses the Civilians' secret word before the vote.

Question 7

Civilians kaise jeet-te hain?

Accepted Answer

Civilians win by successfully voting out the Imposter. They must discuss clues without being too obvious about the word, to prevent the Imposter from guessing it.

Question 8

Is Imposter free to play?

Accepted Answer

Yes — completely free. No download, no account, no cost on any device.

Question 9

Can you play Imposter on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. playimposter.xyz works on any phone or tablet in your browser. No app download required.

Question 10

Do you need an internet connection to play?

Accepted Answer

You need a connection to load the game initially. Once loaded, the game runs entirely in your browser — no server calls are made during gameplay.

Question 11

Can you add custom words?

Accepted Answer

Currently the game comes with a large built-in word library across many categories. Custom word support is something we're looking at adding.

Question 12

How long does a game of Imposter take?

Accepted Answer

A single round typically takes 5–10 minutes. You can set a discussion timer in Settings to keep things moving.

Question 13

What age group is Imposter suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Imposter is suitable for ages 10 and up. The word categories are family-friendly and the game mechanics are easy to learn in one round.

Question 14

Tips for the Imposter — how do you not get caught?

Accepted Answer

Give clues that are vague enough to fit both your word and the real word. Pay close attention to what Civilians say — their clues reveal the real word. Don't be the first or last to give a clue. Blend in by mirroring the energy of the group.

Question 15

Tips for Civilians — how do you catch the Imposter?

Accepted Answer

Give clues that are specific enough to be obviously correct to other Civilians but hard for the Imposter to copy. Watch for vague, generic clues or clues that seem to describe a related-but-different concept. Trust your gut when someone's energy seems off.

Question 16

Mr. White kaun hai aur wo kaise khelta hai?

Accepted Answer

Mr. White is an optional third role in Imposter mode. They receive no word at all and must survive purely by listening to everyone else's clues. If the group votes out Mr. White, they get one final chance to guess the civilian word. A correct guess means Mr. White wins and steals the round. A wrong guess means Civilians win.
