BEST QUESTIONS TO ASK

The hardest part of Imposter Game isn't lying—it's asking good questions. If your question is too specific ("Does it bark?"), you give away the word. If it's too vague ("Is it nice?"), you learn nothing.

🏆 Top 10 Generic Questions (Safe)

Use these when you are the Civilian and don't want to reveal too much. These are vague enough to be safe but specific enough to trip up a clueless Imposter.

• 1. How often do you use this? Great for objects. Imposters often guess "Every day" which can be wrong for things like "Skis".
• 2. Where would you typically find this? Forces the Imposter to guess a location (Indoors? Outdoors? Kitchen?).
• 3. Is this something you can buy? Simple yes/no, but effective against abstract concepts like "Love" or "Freedom".
• 4. What material is this usually made of? A classic trap. If the word is "Cloud" and they say "Plastic", you got them.
• 5. Is this popular with kids? Helps separate toys/games from adult items like "Coffee" or "Taxes".
• 6. Would you find this in a typical house? Distinguishes common household items from exotic animals or landmarks.
• 7. Is this larger than a microwave? Size comparisons are very difficult for Imposters to guess correctly if they have no clue.
• 8. Does this make a noise? Animals and machines make noise; plants and furniture usually don't.
• 9. Do you need two hands to hold this? A specific physical trait that is hard to bluff.
• 10. Is this related to a specific season? Skis are winter, beach balls are summer. Great differentiator.

🔪 Trap Questions (Aggressive)

Use these if you suspect someone is the Imposter. These require specific knowledge.

• 11. Would you give this as a gift? You might give a "Watch", but you wouldn't give a "Tornado" or "Sidewalk".
• 12. Do you need batteries/power for this? Technical questions are risky for liars. If they guess wrong, they are exposed.
• 13. Can you eat this? The ultimate check for food items vs non-food items.
• 14. How heavy is this? Ask for a specific weight estimate (e.g. "Can I lift it?").
• 15. Is this something you do alone or with others? Good for activities/verbs. "Sleeping" is alone, "Tennis" requires others.
• 16. What color is this typically? Imposters hate this. If the word is "Firetruck" and they guess "Blue", they are out.
• 17. Does this smell good? Flowers vs. Garbage. A strong sensory clue that is hard to fake.
• 18. Is this dangerous? Lions are dangerous; Kittens are not. Knives are dangerous; Spoons are not.
• 19. Has this been around for more than 100 years? Tests historical knowledge. iPhone (No) vs. Wheel (Yes).
• 20. If you broke this, would it be expensive to fix? Implies complexity and value. A car is expensive; a pencil is not.
