Guide to the Imposter Game Generator & Website Tools

Playing Imposter Game on their phone with the website's tools.

Welcome to your command center for the perfect Imposter Game night! Our website offers two powerful tools to make hosting effortless: the **Offline imposter game generator** and the **random word generator for imposter game**. This guide will walk you through every feature, step-by-step.

📱 Tool 1: The Imposter Game Maker & Word Generator (/play/offline/)

This is your main tool for setting up and running a game in person using a single device ("pass-the-phone" style). This imposter words generator is free to use and offers two ways to get started.

Method 1: Quick Start - The Fastest Way to Play

Perfect for when you want to jump straight into the action. The game automatically balances the roles for you in Classic mode.

  1. Navigate to the Imposter Game Generator.
  2. Set the **Total Players** (e.g., 6).
  3. Click the **🚀 Quick Start** button.
  4. That's it! The system assigns the optimal number of Imposters and words, and the game begins immediately.

Step 3: Select Word Category

Step 4: Start the Game

Once you're happy with your custom configuration, click the **🚀 Start Game** button at the bottom of the panel.

The Reveal Process (After Starting)

The reveal process is designed for suspense and security:

  1. A screen with buttons for each player (e.g., "View Player 1's Role") will appear.
  2. Players must click their buttons **in sequential order**. The next player's button will only become active after the previous player has viewed their role.
  3. After clicking, a modal shows the player their role and word. They click "I Remember" to hide it.
  4. Once all players have viewed their roles, the page automatically redirects to the game controls screen. Here, the host has the option to **Reveal All Roles** at the end of the game.

🔧 Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: "Quick Start" button not working

Solution: Make sure you've entered a valid number of players (3-12). The system needs at least 3 players to generate a game.

Issue: Can't find my saved game

Solution: Games are saved in your browser's local storage. If you cleared your cache or switched browsers, the game data might be lost.
