What makes a good imposter word

The best words are things everyone at the table knows and can describe in many ways: Pizza, Beach, Penguin or Batman. They need enough different angles that the crew can give clues without repeating each other, but not so many that the imposter can bluff with anything.

Each hint is related to the word but never the word, part of it or a synonym. For Pizza the hints are Slice, Oven and Delivery: enough to bluff with, not enough to be sure.

Make your own word list

Create a category in the game with your own words: friends' inside jokes, the topics from class, your family's favourite foods. Imposter Who can look up related hints for each word online, and you can edit them before you play.
