How does the Imposter mode work?
Every player receives the same secret word except one person, the Imposter, who must blend in without knowing it. Players give one-word clues, then vote on who they think is faking.
The Imposter wins by bluffing successfully, and the rest of the group wins by identifying the faker. The developer compares it to other social deduction and hidden-role games such as Undercover, Spy, and Mr White.
Two ways to play Imposter
| Mode | Devices | Players | How it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imposter Online | One phone per player | 3 to 20 | Create a room, share the room code, and play remotely |
| Pass and Play | One shared phone | 3 or more | The phone is passed around the room to reveal each role |
Step-by-step: starting an online round
- Install the app from Google Play (Android 8.0+ required).
- Choose the Imposter Online mode and create a room.
- Share the room code with 2 to 19 friends so each joins on their own phone.
- Check your secret word; everyone gets the same word except the Imposter.
- Take turns giving one-word clues, then vote to eliminate the suspected faker.
What other game modes are included?
Besides Imposter, the app keeps the original Picoboom modes: Pass the Bomb, Name 3 Things, Act It Out, and others. The developer states that 2 players can play these modes, but larger groups work better.
- Pass the Bomb: beat the timer; whoever holds the phone when the bomb "explodes" takes a penalty, and penalties can be customized.
- Name 3 Things: listed by the developer as one of the original modes.
- Act It Out: players act, sing, or make up raps.
The official website, picoboom.app, offers a browser version of the pass-the-bomb game in 24 languages, including Bahasa Indonesia, Japanese, and Korean.
