The impostor word game online
Impostor game, secret word game, “who is the spy?”… This party classic has many names, but always the same question: who doesn’t have the same word as everyone else?
Words dealt in secret, no paper
No more writing words on scraps of paper or picking a game master. On L’Intrus, each player discovers their word on their own screen. Nobody else can see it: the server only ever sends each player their own word.
Hundreds of word pairs
More than 300 free pairs, chosen to be close without being identical: beach / pool, coffee / tea, cat / tiger, bike / scooter… Plus themed packs for variety: Japan, Party, Travel. The game avoids repeating a pair already played in the room.
Variants that change everything
The Ghost plays with no word at all, the Mute only speaks in emojis, the Parrot must reuse a word from the previous clue, the Scrambler can swap their word mid-game… Discover them all in the role guide.
Remote or in the same room
The built-in voice chat lets you play remotely. But nothing stops you from playing together in the living room: everyone on their phone, and the debate out loud.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between the impostor game and the spy game?
- Same idea: one player has a different word (or no word) and must blend in. L’Intrus offers both: the Impostor, who has a close word without knowing it, and the Ghost, who has no word.
- Do we need a game master?
- No: the game draws the words, deals them in secret, counts the votes and reveals the sides.
- Can I add my own words?
- Not yet: pairs are chosen and checked to be balanced. New packs arrive regularly.
