Imposter game words

460 words for the imposter game in 14 packs, plus 92 word pairs for Who's the Spy (Undercover). These are the exact packs in our free imposter game, so you can read them first or use them with paper slips.

What makes a good imposter game word? Pick words that everyone knows and that allow many questions, like Bakery, Pancakes or Halloween. Avoid words that are too narrow (one answer gives it away) or too obscure (players can't think of questions). Telling the imposter the category, like "It is a place", gives them a fair chance.

How to play the imposter game without a phone

  1. Pick a word from the list. Write it on slips of paper, one per player, except one slip that says "Imposter".
  2. Fold the slips, shuffle and hand them out. Everyone reads theirs in secret.
  3. Take turns asking each other questions about the word, then vote on the imposter.

With a phone it's faster: the free imposter game picks the word, deals the roles, runs the timer and keeps score.

Let the game deal the words and pick the spy for you.
