Play online with friends
Your friends are scattered across the country, but you fancy a game night? Here are the ways to play a party game remotely, and why L’Intrus is the easiest.
Option 1: on Discord, with a game master
One player picks a pair of words and sends it privately to everyone. It works, but the game master doesn’t play, everything is counted by hand, and one wrong message ruins the game.
Option 2: on a video call (Zoom, Meet, Teams)
You see everyone’s faces… but the words still have to be dealt by hand, and there is no way to whisper to one player without everyone hearing.
Option 3: an online game with built-in voice
That’s what L’Intrus does: the server draws and deals the words, the narrator guides each phase, and the debate happens on the built-in voice chat. Everyone plays, nobody can cheat, and a game starts in seconds.
- Instant invites: a link, a 5-letter code or a QR code. Your friends can play as guests.
- Whispers: talk to one player while the others see your mouth move.
- Animated avatars: your character talks when you talk.
- Strict talking (option): during the clues, only the player whose turn it is can speak.
- Full reveal at the end: both words, who was who, everyone’s points.
Set up your game night in 3 steps
- Create a game, pick a theme and word packs (or keep the automatic settings).
- Send the link to your WhatsApp, Messenger or Discord group.
- When everyone is there (3 players minimum), start the game. The narrator does the rest.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I play the impostor game on Discord?
- Yes, with a game master sending the words privately. With L’Intrus, everything is automatic and voice is built in: you don’t even need Discord.
- Do I need a webcam?
- No, a microphone is enough. Your animated avatar talks when you do.
- Do my friends need an account?
- No: they can play as guests in one click. A free account then lets them keep their character and progress.
- Can we play in the same room?
- Yes! Everyone joins on their phone, mutes their mic, and you debate out loud around the table.
