A free online drawing party game for 3–20 players, also known as Fake Artist. Most players get the same secret word, while the impostor only gets a vague hint. Everyone takes turns drawing on a shared online canvas, including the impostor, who tries to blend in without knowing the secret word. At the end, everyone votes to find the impostor.

Yes, it's built for it. The canvas and the vote both live in the app, so nobody needs to be in the same room. It works well alongside a video call, or entirely on its own.

At least 3, up to 20. With everyone on their own phone, one person creates the room and shares the 4-character code or QR code. In Pass the Phone you need no second device at all, just the names of everyone playing.

Yes, completely free. There's no sign-up, no app to install, and no payment. Open the page in any browser and share a room code.

Yes, same game. It used to be called the Impostor Draw Game, and most people looking for it are searching for Imposter Artist or Fake Artist, so that is what it is called now. Nothing about how it plays has changed, and old links still work.

No download needed. Impostor Artist runs right in your phone's browser. Just open the page and share a room code. It works on iPhone and Android instantly, with no app to install.

No. Rough doodles are the whole point. You only need enough detail to show you know the word, and drawing it too clearly just helps the impostor work it out.

Yes. Pick Pass the Phone in the lobby and one phone does the whole game, so nobody else needs a device and there's no room code. The phone goes round twice: once so each player can swipe their card over and see the word, or the impostor hint, in private, then once per drawing turn, handed straight to the next player with the canvas already live. There's no timer, because nobody can disappear from a phone that's being handed to them, and the turn strip names whose go it is. At the end there's no secret ballot, since that would need a screen each: the finished drawing is held up on a Find the Impostor screen, the group argues it out loud, and someone taps Reveal. The default mode, Everyone has a Phone, still gives each player their own screen.

Four categories: Food, Animals, Everyday Objects and Super Heroes, 350 words in all. The host picks which ones are in play, and a random word is dealt each round. Every word carries two vague one-word hints, and the impostor is shown one of them at random. That hint is all they get.
