The bank · 31 decks · 8,900+ words

Pick something the whole
table has opinions about.

From easy openers to the decks that start real arguments. Take one, or shuffle six together and deal from all of them.

AnimalsPets, predators and the deep sea. Easy to describe, and just as easy to fake.
Food & DrinkEveryone at the table has opinions here. Say one wrong word and the room turns.
Everyday ObjectsThings you see every single day and have never once had to describe out loud.
ProfessionsEveryone has met a plumber. Nobody has ever had to describe one out loud.
Party TimeBalloons, cake and questionable dancing. Everyone thinks they are an expert here.
MoviesBlockbusters, awards bait and cult classics. Hope you actually watched it.
CelebritiesFamous faces and borrowed opinions. Nod along and hope nobody asks a question.
BrandsLogos everyone recognises without thinking. Pretending is harder than it looks.
SpicyDrinks, late nights and a little too much honesty. Not for the family round.
TV ShowsBinge-watched, spoiled and rewatched anyway. One episode behind and it shows.
FootballNinety minutes, one goal and a lifetime of arguing about it.
Video GamesThe titles everyone has played, or watched somebody else play. Gamers give themselves away in about four seconds.
AnimeCharacters and series the table will argue about. Name the wrong power and you are finished.
SuperheroesThe heroes and villains everyone can name. Secret identities, which is fitting given what you are doing.
Online LifeNotifications, group chats and the Wi-Fi password nobody remembers.
CricketFormats, shots and the players everyone argues about. Try explaining any of it to the imposter.
DetectiveClues, suspects and confident lying. You have been practising all game.
BollywoodStars, blockbusters and the films everyone can quote. Everyone has seen it twice.
HollywoodAwards night, and everything that happened on set to get there. Hope you paid attention.
Girls SpecialGetting ready together, the group chat and one more episode.
Boys SpecialGym talk, game day and the group chat. Everyone in it is an expert.
Sweet TreatsCakes, puddings and the things you loudly pretend not to eat.
Spooky StuffGhosts, ghouls and whatever is making that noise. Try not to give yourself away.
Growing UpThings that vanished quietly. Half the table will get misty, half will be lost.
MusicInstruments, genres and everything that goes around a song. One wrong note and you are out.
TravelAirports, beaches and very long drives. Somewhere you have been, or say you have.
PlacesRooms, buildings and the odd wide-open space. Somewhere everyone knows, except one of you.
WorldFood, weather, landmarks, language. Five people, five different tells.
SportsSports, gear and the rules nobody fully agrees on. Fake your way through and someone always notices.
SpacePlanets, rockets and the enormous unknown. Nobody has been, so everyone is bluffing.
BooksBestsellers, page-turners and the ones everyone says they've read.

What makes a round go wrong

The rules that ruin friendships.

Imposters know each other.

Play with more than one and they are handed each other's names. Two imposters are a team covering for one another, not two people bluffing in parallel and accidentally sinking each other in round one.

One round breaks the rules.

The Mystery Twist. Nobody is told which round it is. Sometimes nobody is faking. Sometimes everybody is. Sometimes the imposter is handed a word and never told it is the wrong one.

Mercy, optional.

Give the imposter a hint drawn from the same deck. Never the real word. The game draws it after the secret, so the two can never match.

Talk fast.

Anything from one minute to ten, three by default. The last ten seconds carry a sound, and when the clock hits zero everybody votes, ready or not.

Who lies best.

Play three, five, seven or ten rounds. Scores carry across the night — wins as crew, wins as the imposter — and everyone finds out which one they are.

Nobody screenshots the card.

Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked the whole time the app is open, and it hides itself in the app switcher. The word cannot leave the phone it was dealt on.

Play it in your colour.

Five accent colours — red, turquoise, fuchsia, crimson and blue — and light, dark or whatever the phone is already set to. The whole app follows, imposter included.

Nothing to sign up for.

No account, no lobby code, no internet. One phone on the table and everybody leaning in. 24 languages, picked on device.

Somebody in your group
is a natural.

You already know who. Prove it tonight. Free on iOS and Android.
