How to play

A round, step by step

1. 1

   Get your role

   Pass the phone around. Each player taps to see their role in private. Agents see the secret answer; Impostors only get clues.

2. 2

   Give clues

   Going clockwise, everyone says one short word or phrase that proves they know the answer.

3. 3

   Discuss

   After each round of clues, talk it through. Who seems suspicious? Who seems safe?

4. 4

   Vote

   After the second round and a final discussion, everyone points at who they think the Impostor is.

5. 5

   Reveal

   Unmask the Impostors and reveal the answer. A caught Impostor can still steal the win by guessing the answer.

Roles

• Agent · Good team

  You see the secret answer. Prove you know it without making it easy for the Impostors.

• Impostor · Impostor team

  You don't see the answer. Listen, bluff and blend in. If you're caught, guess the answer to steal the win.

• Insider · Good team

  You know who the Impostors are. Help vote them out, but if the Impostors identify you, they win instead.

• Saboteur · Solo

  You know the answer, but you only win if you get yourself voted out.

• Hitman · Solo

  You get a target on the Good team. You win if your target is voted out and you survive.

• Lawyer · Impostor team

  You defend one Impostor. You win if both you and your defendant survive the vote.

Insider, Saboteur, Hitman and Lawyer only appear when Extra roles is switched on.

Categories

Tips

• As an Agent, be specific enough to prove you know the answer, but vague enough that Impostors can’t copy you.
• As an Impostor, echo the vague parts of other clues and act confident.
• Watch for clues that are too vague, too specific, or suspiciously close to someone else’s.
• Use the discussion timers to keep the pressure on.
