What is Imposter Online?

Imposter Online is a free-to-play multiplayer social deduction word game inspired by popular party games. Players work together to find the imposter among them through strategic discussions and voting.

The game supports 3-8 players in real-time multiplayer sessions. Players are randomly assigned roles as either Innocent or Imposter. Innocent players know both the theme and secret word, while Imposters only know the theme and must blend in without revealing they don't know the word.

Through discussion phases, voting rounds, and strategic gameplay, players must identify and eliminate the imposter to win as Innocents, or survive as the Imposter.

How to Play

1. Create or Join a Room

Create a new game room with a custom theme and secret word, or join an existing room using a 6-character room code.

2. Discussion Phase

Once the game starts, players are assigned roles. Innocent players see both the theme and secret word, while Imposters only see the theme. Players discuss and give clues about the secret word in a 3-minute discussion phase.

3. Voting Phase

After discussion, players vote on who they think is the imposter. The player with the most votes is eliminated.

4. Results

If the imposter is eliminated, Innocent players win. If the imposter survives, the Imposter wins. Points are awarded based on the outcome.
