Double Agent

On one phone, pass it around so each player sees their word in private; in a Party Room, each phone shows its own. Because the words are close — think coffee and tea — the double agent can blend in for a while, so listen for the clue that’s almost right. After each round of clues, the group votes someone out, and the game goes on with whoever is left. You need at least four players; the more suspicious everyone gets, the better it plays.

Questions

How do you play Double Agent?

Everyone gets a secret word; one player’s word is different but close. Each round, every player gives a clue about their word, then the group votes someone out. The rounds continue with the remaining players.

How is it different from Impostor?

The impostor has no word, only the category. The double agent has a real word that’s almost the same as everyone else’s, so the clues sound right — almost.

How many players?

From four to sixteen, on one phone passed around or with one phone each in a Party Room.

Is it free?

Levels 1 to 4 are free with no account. The last level is 18+, behind an age confirmation; part of it is free and the rest comes with the Games Pass (one-time purchase, also included in Wabiro+).
