El Impostor

What is the game about?

El Impostor is a "pass-and-play" party game: each player is shown the round's secret word in private, but one (or several) is the impostor and does not know it. Everyone gives spoken clues and, in the end, votes to unmask them. Great for gatherings, trips and pre-parties.

Pass and play

A single phone that rotates between players. Each one sees their card in secret and hands it to the next.

Two variants

Blind: the impostor gets no word. Similar word: they get a look-alike word and do not even know they are the impostor.

From 3 to 12 players

Perfect for groups: with more people, the app allows 2 or 3 impostors for extra chaos and fun.
