One of you is faking it.
Everyone gets the same secret word, except the imposter. Give one clue each, find out who is bluffing and vote them out before they guess the word.






How a round works
1Deal
Pass the phone. Each player holds the card to peek at the secret word. The imposter only sees the category and a hint.
2Clue
Take turns giving one word or a short clue. Not too obvious, or the imposter catches on. Not too vague, or you look guilty.
3Vote
Discuss, point fingers, vote someone out. The big reveal shows who was lying.
Three modes, more twists
Classic
One secret word, one or more imposters with a hint.
Undercover
One player gets a close twin word (coffee and tea) and has no idea.
Liar
Everyone answers a question. One player got a different one.
Mr. White
Gets no word at all, but can steal the win by guessing it.
Word lists for every category
40 categories and 1,409 words, each with the hint the imposter sees. Free to use on paper, or let Shifty deal the roles.
Questions
How many people can play?
From 3 to 20 players on a single phone. With 7 or more players you can add a second imposter, and Chaos mode picks a secret number of imposters.

Yes. Classic mode, 8 categories, your own categories, up to 20 players and scores are free forever. Shifty Pro adds 32 categories, the Undercover and Liar modes, Mr. White and Chaos.
Does it need internet?
No. Shifty works offline: road trips, camping, classrooms and parties.
Which languages?
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Turkish. Every word and hint is written by hand in each language, not machine translated.
