What is Imposter?
Imposter is a three-round party game. Everyone is secretly told a word except one player, who only knows the category. The room talks it out loud, then votes on who is faking.
It is one of the mini-games built into Qwiz Rush (sometimes written Quiz Rush), the free live quiz you host from a browser while players join by code on their own devices.
