What is an imposter game?
An imposter game is a party game where a group shares a secret word or role and one hidden player does not have it. Players give clues in turn, then discuss and vote on who the imposter is.
Is Bluffle free?
Yes. Bluffle is free to play in the browser and free to download on iPhone and Android. There is no account, no signup and nothing to unlock before your first round.
How many players do you need for an imposter game?
Three at minimum. Five to eight players is the sweet spot for discussion. Bluffle supports 3 to 12 players on a single device.
Can you play an imposter game offline?
Yes. Pass-the-phone imposter games run entirely on one device with no server, so they work in airplane mode with no signal.
What age is the imposter game suitable for?
The core game suits about 8 and up, since it only requires describing a word in one word. Bluffle's built-in packs contain no adult content and it is rated for all ages.
Does the imposter know they are the imposter?
In most imposter apps, yes - they are shown a card reading IMPOSTER. In Bluffle they are not: they receive a real word similar to the group's word and are never told, so their clues are honest.
How long does a round take?
About three to five minutes including discussion and the vote, which is why most groups play several rounds back to back.
Can you make your own word list?
Yes. Bluffle includes a pack editor so you can write your own secret and imposter word pairs, which is how groups add inside jokes and names.
What languages does Bluffle support?
33 languages, with word packs written natively for each rather than translated, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, Hindi and Vietnamese.
Do you need internet to play Bluffle?
No. The browser version needs one page load, and the iPhone and Android apps work entirely offline once installed.
