Kact Among Us

Objective:

Identify the imposters among your teammates through clever description, deduction, and voting — while imposters try to stay hidden!.

Roles:

2 Imposters – Pretend to know the word and avoid getting caught.
Crewmates – Work together to identify the imposters.

Word Assignment:

Crewmates will be given a Common Word (e.g., “Coffee”).
Imposters will be given the word “Imposter”.
Words should be assigned secretly by the moderator.

Gameplay Structure:

Round Format (3 Rounds Total):

Each player gives one short clue/description about their word per round, without directly stating or obviously revealing the word.
Everyone listens carefully to see who sounds “off” or inconsistent.
Example for word “Coffee”:
Clue 1: “Many people need this to start their day.”
Clue 2: “Often comes with milk or sugar.”
Avoid saying the word directly or using rhyming hints like “starts with C”.

Voting Rules:

Optional Voting (During the Round):

If a player is suspicious during the round, anyone can call a vote to eliminate them.
Team discusses briefly, then votes anonymously or openly.
Majority vote = Player eliminated.

Mandatory Voting (After Every Round):

At the end of each round, there will be mandatory voting.
All players must vote to eliminate one person.
In case of a tie, the moderator may break the tie or skip the elimination for that round (optional rule).

Winning Conditions:

Crewmates Win if:

Both imposters are identified and eliminated within 3 rounds.

Imposters Win if:

At least one imposter survives until the end of 3 rounds.
OR too many crewmates are eliminated, and imposters are in equal numbers.

Rules & Conduct:

No revealing your word directly, even if you’re eliminated.
Maintain a fun and respectful environment — it’s a game!
Do not give clues that are overly vague or disruptive (e.g., “thing”, “object”, “I can’t say”).

Tips for Crewmates:

Listen for inconsistencies or generic clues.
Watch body language and confidence in delivery.

Tips for Imposters:

Be vague, but not too vague.
Echo ideas from crewmates to blend in.
Give clues that could loosely fit the real word.
