Imposter Game Words

All 1,185 secret words from the Imposter game, grouped by category, with the 230 look-alike pairs used in undercover mode. Read them, print them, or let the game pick for you.

How to use this list

On paper: write one word from a single category on slips, one per player, and mark the imposter's slip "Imposter" (or, for undercover mode, give the imposter the other word of a pair). Fold, shuffle and deal. On a phone: the Imposter game deals the same words for you, keeps the imposter's slip secret and runs the vote and score. Either way, players take turns giving one-word clues and then vote.

What makes a good secret word

  • Everyone knows it. If one civilian has never heard of the word, their vague clue looks exactly like an imposter's bluff.
  • It has several angles. Bacon can be described by taste, time of day, where you buy it or what goes with it, so each civilian has a different safe clue.
  • The category is a real hint. In classic mode the imposter may see the category. A focused category, such as Kitchen Things or At the Beach, gives them a fair chance to blend in.

Undercover pairs, explained

In undercover mode the imposter gets the other word of a pair and is not told it is different. A pair works when the two words share most of their clues but not all: Pizza and Lasagna are both things you might eat for the same meal, so the first few clues fit both, and the difference only shows when someone gets specific. The game uses only these hand-picked pairs, so the imposter never gets a word from a different category.
