It wasn’t just a game; it was part of what made our school days so special, a simple joy that brought us closer together. ## Features - **Real-time multiplayer:** Up to 8 players per room. - **Secret roles:** All but one player receive the same word; one imposter gets a similar but different word. - **Describe & deduce:** Each player describes their word in the chat—be subtle! - **Voting:** After all descriptions, players vote for who they think is the imposter. - **Rounds:** The game continues until the imposter is caught or only two players remain. - **Responsive design:** Mobile and desktop friendly. - **Automatic player removal:** Disconnected or eliminated players are removed from the game. ## How to Play 1. **Create or join a room** (minimum 4 players). 2. **Receive your secret word.** One player is the imposter with a different word. 3. **Describe your word** in the chat—try not to give it away! 4. **Vote** for who you think is the imposter. 5. **Elimination:** The player with the most votes is eliminated.
