Real tells
No avatars to hide behind. The imposter's hesitation, the eyes that flick away, the clue that's a beat too smart — you read the actual person.

The imposter game, off the screen
Social deduction is better in person.
Hunting an imposter through avatars is fun. Hunting one across a real table — where every flinch and one-too-clever clue gives them away — is the whole point.
No app, no download
It runs in any phone browser. The host taps once for a code; everyone joins from their own phone in seconds. Nothing to install.
Everyone hunts
No lobbies, no spectating, no being "dead" and waiting it out. All 3–10 play every round, every round.
Five-minute rounds
A clue each, a vote, a reveal — caught or escaped in about five minutes. Then a new word drops and the next hunt begins.

about your crew.
Give Pantsy a theme — inside jokes from your group chat, iconic 90s cartoons — and it writes the whole pack for you. Or type your own word list. Or pick one of the ready-made packs and start hunting.
It remembers your crew
The round ends.
The grudges don't.
When the vote lands, Pantsy tallies it up — best-clue bonuses, getting-caught penalties, who pointed at whom — then writes the petty line itself: "Ella voted for Felix — Pantsy laughed in their head." Hunt the same crew again and a club spins up automatically — nothing to set up — so the scores, grudges and stats are waiting next time.

Straight answers
Imposter game questions.
What is an imposter game?
It's a social deduction game where one player is secretly faking it and the group has to work out who. In Pantsy, everyone gets the same secret word except one imposter, who only sees the category. Everyone gives a one-word clue, then the room votes on who's bluffing.
Is there a free imposter game with no app?
Yes — Pantsy is free and runs in any phone browser, so there's no app to install and no account. The host taps Create game for a five-letter code, and everyone joins from their own phone by link, text or QR.
Can you play an imposter game in person?
That's exactly what Pantsy is built for — an imposter game for a real table, where you read your friends' actual faces and hesitation instead of avatars on a screen. Everyone's in the same room, each on their own phone.
How many players do you need?
Pantsy works with 3 to 10 players in the same room, each on their own phone, and everyone plays every round. For a bigger group you can run several rooms at once or rotate players between rounds.
How does a round work?
Everyone shares a secret word except the hidden imposter, who only gets the category. Each player gives one clue that proves they know the word without handing it to the imposter, then the room votes. Catch the imposter and the room wins; if they slip out, the imposter takes it. A round is about five minutes.
Is it free to play?
Yes, Pantsy is free — no pack to buy and no subscription to start a game.
