Bluff, Accuse, and Vote — All on One Screen
Pass the phone around the room. Spiono deals the secret word, keeps the imposters in the dark, and runs every round for you.
How to Play the Imposter Game in Spiono
No rulebook, no paper slips, no arguments about setup. Three steps and the paranoia begins.
Get the Secret Word
Pass the phone around — most players see the same secret word, while the imposters are left in the dark and must pretend they know it.
Give Clever Clues
Each player says one clue or association out loud. Too obvious and the imposter learns the word; too vague and you look suspicious.
Vote the Imposter Out
Debate, accuse, and vote. Catch the imposter before they slip away with the win — or bluff your way through if it's you.

A social deduction party game with zero setup and endless replay value.
