Imposter Game

⚠️ DISCLAIMER

This game uses the OpenAI API to generate word pairs for the game.

The model used is gpt-4o-mini, which is a lightweight low cost version ($0.15 input, $0.075 output per 1M tokens).

❓ About

For an N player game, N-1 players (civilians) are given the same secret word, and one randomly selected player (the imposter) is given a different (but similar) secret word.

ex) For a 4 player game, 3 players will be given "kitchen" and 1 player will be given "restaurant".

No one knows whether they are an imposter or a civilian.

The goal of the imposter is to blend in and not get caught, while the goal of the civilians is to identify and eliminate the imposter.
