Undercover online, with your friends

Everyone gets the same word, except the Undercover, who gets a similar one, and sometimes Mr. White, who gets none. Everyone gives a clue, then you vote to eliminate the impostor.

3 to 10 players, about 8 minutes a game. The words are written for each language, not translated word for word.

The rules

Goal

  • Everyone gets the same secret word… except the undercover, who gets a close one without knowing it. Mr White gets none at all.
  • Civilians: unmask the impostors. Impostors: survive to the end.

A round

  • Take turns giving a one-word clue, then vote to eliminate a suspect.
  • The eliminated player reveals their role, and a new round of clues begins.

Game over

  • The civilians win when the undercover AND Mr White are all eliminated: as long as one is left, the game goes on. If only one civilian is left, the impostors win. Mr White, once eliminated, wins alone if he guesses the word.

Tips

  • Not too precise, not too vague: an obvious clue helps the undercover guess the civilians’ word.
  • You might have the undercover’s word without knowing it: listen to the others’ clues before you speak.

Game modes

With Mr White
A player with no word blends in: once eliminated, they can still steal the win by guessing.
Classic
Civilians against undercovers, no Mr White. From 3 players.
