How to play
- Pick a category and pass the phone: everyone sees the same secret word except the imposter (or two, with 6+ players).
- Take turns giving a one-word clue without giving the word away. The imposter bluffs using a vague hint.
- Discuss and vote in secret. Catch the imposter and the group wins; miss and the imposter wins.
