FAQ
What makes a good word for the imposter game?
A good secret word is known by everyone in the group and has many possible clues, like Pizza, Beach or Doctor. Avoid words that are too niche, or the crew cannot give clues without giving it away.
What is the imposter hint?
A related word the imposter may see, so they have a small chance to blend in. It should never be a synonym. For "Pizza" a good hint is "Slice", not "Pepperoni pizza".
Can I use these words for Spyfall or Undercover?
Yes. Any game where one player does not know the secret word works with these lists, including Spyfall-style location games and Undercover.
