How do you play Hockey Imposter?
Everyone gets the same player on their own phone except one of you, the imposter, who only sees the position (goaltender, defenceman, centre or wing) and the flag.
- Send the link. One of you starts a game and shares the link or the 4-letter code. You need 3 to 8 players — free for up to 4.
- Everyone gets the same player — except the imposter, who has to bluff from the position and the flag.
- Say one word each about the player. Out loud in the same room, or typed if you play online.
- Vote out the bluffer. Caught imposters get one last chance: guess the player and steal a point.
An imposter who escapes scores 2 points; when the imposter is caught, everyone who voted right scores 1. Five rounds, a new player every round, about 5–10 minutes.
Can you play Hockey Imposter online?
Yes — play in the same room or miles apart, each on your own phone, and the host picks which before the game starts.
| Together (same room) | Apart (online) | |
|---|---|---|
| Your word | Said out loud, in turn | Typed in the game |
| The vote | The host starts it when everyone has spoken | Everyone sees the clues together, then votes |
| Works best | On the sofa, at practice, at a party | Over a video call or straight from the group chat |
What else can you play in the same room?
Keep the same group and switch game: every sport also has a live auction, Guess the player and Pick your favorite.
- A live draft. Everyone gets 100M and bids for the same players — the stronger six wins. Hockey draft game
- Another sport. The same game with footballers or basketball players.
- Ideas for tonight. Six games for your group chat, with and without us. Football games to play with friends
Then put a price on them: the ice hockey auction
Same group, same hockey players, more at stake. Hockey draft game
- Create a game and send the link. Send the link during the first intermission. Everyone joins on their own phone, on the couch or from the stands.
- Bid on one hockey player at a time. Goaltenders, defencemen, centres and wingers hit the block one at a time, from the 1945 era to this season. Miss out on the good goaltenders and you will feel it.
- Put your six on the ice. Three periods, played out goal by goal. Tied after 60 minutes? A shootout decides it, and the stronger six wins.
More ice hockey games for the same group
- The live auction. Everyone gets 100M and bids for the same hockey players. Build the stronger six and win.
- Guess the player. Six clues about a mystery hockey player, one at a time. Name them first — a wrong guess hands everyone else the point.
- This or That. Two hockey players, same position, same era. One of you picks in secret, the rest guess which.
Why hockey fans keep playing Imposter
- An ice hockey tip. As the imposter with a defenceman, "physical" and "blue line" are safe words. Draw a goaltender and keep it simple: "wall".
- Bluffing is the skill. The imposter has to sound like a hockey player expert with nothing but a position and a flag.
- Built for the same room. Say your word out loud on the sofa, or type it when you play apart.
- 3 to 8 players. Free for up to 4, Host Pass for bigger groups.
- One last chance. A caught imposter can still steal a point by naming the player.
- No ads. Ever. Just the word, the vote and the accusations.
