Understanding Roles
Impostors
1-4 players (depending on group size) who know each other's identities. Their goal is to avoid detection and outnumber the innocents.
Innocents
All remaining players who don't know anyone's role. Their goal is to identify and eliminate all impostors through discussion and voting.
How to Play
1. Role Assignment Phase
Pass the device around. Each player secretly views their role. Impostors will see who the other impostors are. Innocents see only that they are innocent.
2. Eyes Closed Phase
Everyone closes their eyes. Impostors open their eyes to acknowledge each other, then close them again. This ensures impostors know their allies.
3. Discussion Phase
Everyone opens their eyes and discusses freely. Players ask questions, share observations, and try to deduce who the impostors might be. Set a time limit (3-5 minutes recommended).
4. Voting Phase
Players vote to eliminate someone they suspect is an impostor. The person with the most votes is eliminated and their role is revealed. Ties can be handled by revote or no elimination.
5. Check Win Conditions
If all impostors are eliminated, innocents win. If impostors equal or outnumber innocents, impostors win. Otherwise, return to Discussion Phase.
