# Imposter Game – A Frictionless Social Deduction Game for the Browser
Hey! 👋
I built
Imposter Game, a lightweight social deduction game you can play instantly with friends, no accounts, no downloads, no paywalls — just open the browser and start accusing each other.

## What It Is
Imposter Game is a simple, fast-paced “who’s the liar?” style party game you play directly in the browser with friends, teammates, or your community. It’s designed for those moments when someone says:
> “Let’s play something together… but please don’t make me sign up or install anything.”

## Why I Built It
I was frustrated that most online social games now come with a lot of friction:
– “Create an account first”
– “Download our app”
– “Unlock more rounds with premium…”
I wanted the opposite: a game that feels like the early web — click, play, leave, with no strings attached.
So I focused on three principles:
– No registration, no login
No email, no password, no OAuth. You share a room link, everyone joins, and you’re in. This makes it ideal for one-off
game nights, community events, and remote team socials where you don’t want to ask people for personal data.
– No downloads, browser-only
Works entirely in the browser on desktop and laptop (and I’m iterating on mobile usability). There’s nothing to
install, so it’s easy to suggest in a call or meeting: “Open the link, let’s play one round.”
– Completely free
No paywalls, no in-app purchases, no “you’ve hit your limit for today.” It’s a small, indie, for-fun project. You can
play as many rounds as you like without ever reaching for your wallet.

## Use Cases Product Hunters Might Care About
– Remote teams – Drop it into your next retrospective, Friday social, or onboarding call to quickly break the ice.
– Communities & Discord servers – Run casual events without forcing members to sign up for yet another platform.
– Friends & family – Replace “What should we play?” with “Let’s just use this link.”
Because there’s no signup and no download, you can suggest it without feeling like you’re “making” people adopt a new tool.

## Under the Hood (for the curious)
This is a small indie project, but I’ve tried to keep it:
– Lightweight – Minimal UI, fast load times.
– Stable for groups – Designed around real-time multiplayer sessions where people may join/leave mid-game.
– Privacy-friendly – Since there’s no account system, there’s no profile to track, no progress to monetize.
If you’re into building multiplayer/web stuff and have feedback or ideas, I’d love to hear them in the comments.

## Feel free to try it yourself
If you like low-friction, privacy-friendly little web toys and want something new for your next hangout or team call, I’d be thrilled if you gave it a try and shared your feedback.
Thanks for checking it out — and if you do play, I hope your friends never trust you again (in the best possible way).
