About the game

What you do in a play session

Imaginiff is that party game that'll have everyone laughing and getting to know each other better — or worse, depending on the answers! Each round, one player becomes the 'subject', and the others have to answer wacky questions about them, like 'If so-and-so were a flying object, what would it be?'. Options range from biplane to... a brick (yes, some people deserve that). The cool part is players vote on the answers they think are most fitting (or hilarious), and those who pick the most popular one score points. The board has spaces with names you choose — could be your annoying uncle, the latest celeb, or even the family dog. It plays 3 to 8 people, and within half an hour everyone's laughing at the absurd answers that come up. Perfect for breaking the ice or that night with friends who don't take anything seriously. Just watch out for the brutally honest answers, because people might start giving you side-eye!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
How many people can play?
3 to 8 players. The more, the merrier (and more chaotic)!
Do you need paper and pen?
Nope, the game comes with everything you need, but having translated cards helps if you don't know English.
Is it hard to learn?
Not at all! Rules are super simple — everyone gets it in 5 minutes.
Can kids play?
They can, but some questions are more teen/adult-oriented. You can adapt, of course.
How long does a game last?
About 30 minutes on average, but it can stretch if the group is hilarious (or brutally honest).
