Deal a random Around The House word

Everyone’s card says Sofa. The imposter’s says Broom.

That’s Decoy mode: the imposter knows they’re the imposter and gets a word from the same pack to hide behind. In Classic, they get no word at all. How to play

Around The House questions

How do you play the around the house imposter game?

Everyone secretly sees the same word from the Around The House 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 Around The House pack?

55 words, from Sofa and Broom to Wi-Fi Router and Pillow. This page shows 20 of them with what they mean; all 55 are in the free app.

Can kids play this pack?

Yes. Every built-in pack is family-safe, and these are things every player has at home.
