Family & Friends questions
How do you play the family imposter game?
Everyone secretly sees the same word from the Family & Friends 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 Family & Friends pack?
55 words, from Grandma and Best Friend to Nephew and Wife. This page shows 20 of them with what they mean; all 55 are in the free app.
Is there a family version of the imposter game?
Imposterly is one. Every built-in word pack is family-safe, it plays with 3 to 20 people, and it’s free with no ads and no accounts.
