Funny People questions
How do you play the comedians imposter game?
Everyone secretly sees the same word from the Funny People pack, except the imposter. Each player gives one clue, then the table votes on who the imposter is. The crew wins by voting out every imposter; if one survives the vote, the imposters win. If word steal is on, a caught imposter can still win by guessing the word in a pass-one-phone round; a room-code round always ends at the vote.
What words are in the Funny People pack?
37 words, from Jim Carrey and Trevor Noah to Melissa McCarthy and Adam Sandler. This page shows 18 of them with what they mean; all 37 are in the free app.
What if someone doesn’t know a comedian?
The app shows a one-line meaning under the word on the secret card, so nobody gets caught out by a name they’ve never heard.
