Overview
Imposter Who is a party word game for 3 to 20 people sharing one phone. Players type their names, pick from 22 categories of hand-written words (each with three imposter hints and a look-alike decoy) or make their own, and choose how many imposters there are and whether they get a hint. Each person holds the card to see their role: a circle grows from their fingertip and closes the moment they let go.
The game picks who starts and which way to go, runs an optional discussion timer, stages the vote with a dramatic reveal, gives caught imposters a last-chance guess and keeps a scoreboard. Undercover mode hands imposters a similar word instead, so nobody knows who's different. Custom categories can look up hint words online. It's guest-only, keeps everything on the device and installs like an app.
