About the game
Why play Sketch Imposter?
Sketch Imposter combines collaborative drawing with social deduction. Players take turns adding a visual clue to the same canvas. Everyone sees each stroke appear live, including the imposter who must improvise from what the group has already drawn.
Good drawings are not always good clues. The crew needs to show they know the word without completing the picture for the faker. Once the canvas looks suspicious enough, the room votes and the imposter may still steal the round by guessing the hidden word.

Tips for your next round
Notice hesitation
An imposter often waits to see the direction of the canvas before committing a stroke.
Use the whole canvas
Separate clues make it easier to tell which player introduced each suspicious idea.
