Support
Back in the game, step by step.
Choose the issue that matches what you see and follow the steps for pairing, connection, gameplay, or Impostor+.
- You need at least 3 players in total, including the Host; 4 or more is recommended.
- Everyone must join the Lobby before the first round.
- Every participant uses their own compatible iPhone or iPad.
- Only the Host needs Impostor+.
Start a game
- 01On the Host device, choose “Creează joc” (Create game), enter the name, category, and round count, then create the session.
- 02In the Lobby, the Host chooses “Adaugă jucători” (Add players) and follows the system prompts.
- 03On every joining device, choose “Intră într-un joc” (Join a game), enter a name, and tap “Conectează-te” (Connect).
- 04Select and confirm the intended Host in the system pairing window.
- 05Wait until every player appears connected before the Host starts the first round.
Compatibility and player capacity depend on the Host device. Impostor shows the available limit in the app.
- 01Use an iPhone with iOS 26.6 or later, or an iPad with iPadOS 26.6 or later.
- 02Make sure every device uses the same current version of the app.
- 03Turn on Wi-Fi and keep devices nearby, unlocked, and with Impostor in the foreground while pairing.
- 04Follow and confirm every system pairing prompt.
Nearby pairing and connection
Impostor connects nearby devices directly, with no gameplay server and no need to share the same home network. Turn on Wi-Fi and accept the system connection prompts.
- 01Check that Wi-Fi is on for both devices.
- 02Keep the devices nearby, unlocked, and with Impostor in the foreground.
- 03Confirm that every device uses the same version of the app.
- 04Tap “Conectează-te” (Connect) again and follow every system prompt. Confirm the intended Host.
- 05If the Host was already selected, use “Reîncearcă cu aceeași gazdă” (Retry with the same Host). If the session ended, create a new one.
- 01Close the system window and try again from the two devices.
- 02Check whether a confirmation or code is still waiting on the other device.
- 03Do not start several Host selections at the same time on one device.
- 04If the problem continues, restart the apps and create a fresh session.
- 01Keep the Host in the Lobby and both apps in the foreground.
- 02Move the devices closer and check Wi-Fi again.
- 03Use “Reîncearcă” (Retry); the app may reuse the selected Host.
- 04If the Host ended the session, return Home and create a new game.
During a game
After an established connection drops, the app makes an automatic reconnect attempt and shows “Reîncearcă” (Retry) if recovery fails. Keep the Host session active and reopen Impostor on the player’s device. Do not join again under a new name.
An accepted answer or vote stays valid. Missing input still blocks progress until the player reconnects or the Host removes them.
If the Host removes a player during an active round, the current attempt is cancelled. Completed rounds and their points remain unchanged.
If the Host ends or permanently leaves the game, the session ends for everyone. The Host role does not move to another device. Return Home and create a new session.
The answer must contain visible text after leading and trailing spaces are removed, and it can contain at most 80 characters. Each player can submit one answer per round.
Choose another active player. You cannot vote for yourself and can submit only one vote per round; an accepted vote cannot be changed.
Impostor+ and the subscription
On the Host device, open Impostor+ and choose “Restabilește achizițiile” (Restore purchases). Access returns only if Apple verifies an active subscription for the App Store account in use.
Manage or stop renewal from the Apple account used for purchase. Impostor does not require a separate account.
Joining players use the access available to the Host-created session. If the Host has Impostor+, everyone else can play that category, round count, and setup without subscriptions of their own.
Content
The category covers sexual and other adult themes in a direct but non-graphic tone. The marker is a content warning, not age verification or a confirmed App Store rating.
