Pick a word that everyone in the group understands. Everyday objects often create better rounds than specialist trivia: the challenge should be reading your friends, not knowing an obscure definition.
These are suggestions for planning a game, not a complete list of the app’s word packs.
Food
Pizza · Popcorn · Pancake · Sushi · Lemon · Chocolate · Spaghetti · Ice cream · Sandwich · Watermelon
Animals
Zebra · Penguin · Dolphin · Giraffe · Octopus · Butterfly · Kangaroo · Owl · Crocodile · Rabbit
Places
Beach · Airport · Library · Cinema · Playground · Museum · Bakery · School · Campsite · Supermarket
Halloween
Pumpkin · Ghost · Witch · Vampire · Skeleton · Broomstick · Cauldron · Spider · Haunted house · Werewolf
How obvious should a clue be?
A good clue has a real connection to the secret but leaves more than one possible answer. It should make sense when explained after the reveal.
| Secret | More direct | Less direct |
|---|---|---|
| Pizza | Slice | Delivery |
| Zebra | Stripes | Herd |
| Library | Books | Whisper |
| Pumpkin | Carving | Autumn |
Neither column is automatically better. A direct clue helps other players recognize that you know the word, but also helps the imposter. A subtler clue protects the secret but may earn you a few suspicious looks.
If you’re the imposter
Listen for what the clues have in common. Make a plausible connection without simply repeating someone else. If you speak first, use any category or hint the group enabled and commit to your best bluff.
If you’re choosing words yourself
Start with familiar nouns. Avoid answers that only one friend would know, or pairs that are nearly interchangeable. A mix of food, animals and places gives everyone a chance to make creative connections.
