Anime Imposter

How Anime Imposter works

  1. Everyone but the imposter sees the secret character. The imposter sees a hint about them instead.
  2. Going round the table, each player gives a clue about the character: type it in, or say it out loud.
  3. Three rounds of clues, then the table talks it over. Tap anyone to see every clue they gave.
  4. Everyone votes for who they think the imposter is.
  5. Miss, and the imposter wins. Catch them, and they get one last guess at the character to steal the win.

Questions
How many people can play?
Three to eight, each on their own phone or laptop, joined with the five-letter code above.
What does the imposter get?
A short hint about the character, like a power, a role or a personality, never the show they're from. Enough to bluff with, not enough to be sure.
Can we play with just one anime?
Yes. Pick a custom pool with only the shows you all know, and the character and the imposter's last guess both come from it.
Is it like Among Us or Spyfall?
It's the same idea: one player is the odd one out and has to bluff. Instead of a location or a task, the secret is an anime character, and the imposter only gets a hint like “fire user” or “the rival”.
What makes a good clue?
Something that proves you know the character without handing it to the imposter. Too obvious and the imposter catches on; too vague and the table starts suspecting you.
Can we play over a video call?
Yes. Everyone joins on their own device with the code, and anyone can press “I said it out loud” to give their clue by voice instead of typing it.
Is it free?
Yes. No app, no account, no sign-up.
