Imposter game words
200+ word ideas by category, for an imposter or who's-the-spy round in any group. These are words to play with. They are not the decks inside Bluff Club.
How to use these words
- Choose one list the whole table will enjoy.
- Pick a single secret word from it. Don't say it out loud.
- Everyone but one player learns the word. That player has to bluff.
- Go around with one-word clues, then vote.
Tips for a good secret word
- Prefer a thing people can picture: Pizza, not Food.
- Skip the label of the list you picked. If the list is Animals, don't choose the word Animal.
- Use a word everyone at the table already knows.
- One word beats a phrase. "Birthday cake" splits the table; Cake does not.
- With kids, stay on Easy or Kids and family.
