About Imposer

## Who are we & what is this?

🎭

### The Game

Imposer is a hilarious, brain-burning word-deduction party game. Everyone is given the same secret word from a category — except one player, the Imposter, who gets a different (bluff) word. In each round, players take turns giving one clue to prove they're genuine. The Imposter must bluff to blend in. Then everyone votes who they think is faking. Catch the Imposter before they fool the whole room!

🔍

### How it plays

- Every round you get one clue describing your word
- The Imposer has a bluff word and must act normal
- Discuss, debate, accuse & vote the Imposer out
- 3 play modes: Offline, LAN/hotspot, and Online

🧠

### Built for everyone

Single-device hotseat for a living room, QR-join LAN for friends on the same Wi-Fi, and online matchmaking to play with strangers — all with A.I. bots to fill a table. A great icebreaker for parties, classrooms and teams.

🕹

### Customise it

- 10+ categories plus an "All" mix — Food, Animals, Movies, Tech & more
- Choose # imposers, round timer, same/different words
- Hide-the-Imposer mode for an extra twist
- 2,700+ real curated words with images & hints

Our Goal

## Why we built it

🎯

### Play together, no matter what device or network

Party games die at the door when half your friends have iPhones, the rest Androids, and someone brought a laptop. We set out to make a game that runs everywhere and needs almost no server. The heavy lifting happens on your device — the server only briefly connects people. That means it works in a cabin with no signal, on a plane, in a school, or across the globe.

🔒

### Privacy & offline-first

Your games, chat and profile live on your own device. We don't mine your data, we don't require an account to play offline, and everything keeps working with no internet.

🧩

### One app, every OS

Installable like a native app on Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS and Linux — no app store needed. Share one link or QR and anyone can join from anything.

♾

### Free forever

Imposer is free and open. Our goal is simple: bring people together for real laughter, face-to-face, one clue at a time.
