Copycat

Civilians root out the Imposters. Imposters eliminate the Civilians.

Copycat is a fast, casual, word-based social deduction game for 4–12 players. Everyone gets a word and gives one clue each round, then votes to eliminate a suspect. Civilians all share the same core word. Imposters get scrambled clues and must bluff without revealing themselves.

Roles: All Imposters see a related word, Copycats can scramble a player’s clue during voting, and a Taskmaster can assign short taskings that, when failed, reveal letter clues to imposters. The goal is simple: civilians eliminate imposters; imposters reach parity in numbers or guess the core word.

Runs in the browser with no install and supports bots (they suck) for smaller lobbies.
