Hard Words for the Imposter Game

Hard Words is for groups who know the game well and want a real test. Every word is easy to picture, like an echo, a revolving door or a lighthouse keeper, but most have one obvious clue that hands the word straight to the imposter. Expect slower clues, sneakier bluffs and much closer votes.

Tips for this pack

  • Your first idea is usually the giveaway. For Escalator, skip "stairs" and try something sideways, like "mall" or "handrail".
  • The imposter hint only shows the pack name, and "Hard Words" tells the imposter almost nothing. As the imposter, bluff with clues that fit lots of things, like a sound, a feeling or a time of day.
  • Save this pack for players with a few games behind them. With newcomers or a mixed group, add Everyday Things too, so not every round is this tough.
