Privacy details

Imposter game generator processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Your result

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

Reveal one role at a time

Add at least three distinct player names. Everyone except the imposters receives the same random object word. Pass the device to the named player, reveal the role, then hide it before passing to the next player. Once everyone has looked, take turns giving clues and agree how to vote.

A worked example

With four players and one imposter, three players see the same word and one sees Imposter. No role is shown until that player chooses Reveal role.

Before you use the result

This works around one shared device. Roles are hidden on screen, not protected against someone inspecting browser memory. No remote links or invitations are sent. A new game replaces every role.
