Imposter Academy: Whole-Class Social Deduction

Imposter Academy turns your class material into a game of clues and bluffs. Every student gets the same secret codeword pulled from your uploaded material — except a handful of double agents, who get a close decoy word instead. Each round, everyone types one clue about their word without ever saying it, and the whole board flips over together so the class can compare notes.

Then the debate starts out loud, right there in the room — there's no in-app chat, because the class is already sitting together. Students vote for whoever they think is bluffing, and the most-suspected players get unmasked one card at a time. Nobody is ever knocked out of the game: getting caught only costs that mission's stars, and roles are dealt fresh again next mission, so a caught double agent is straight back in the action.

Every mission ends with a debrief card that lines up the real codeword and the decoy side by side, with a one-line explanation of why they're easy to mix up — the teach-back moment that turns the bluffing into review. Double agents even get one last typed guess at the real codeword for a chance to steal back stars before the reveal.

Hosting takes seconds: open Imposter Academy, curate the word pairs pulled from your material (or start from the built-in demo pack with zero uploads), and show the room code on the projector. Students join at studyquest.app/join with the code and a nickname — no accounts needed. Nothing on the board is ever timed; the teacher advances every phase — clues, debate, vote, unmask, debrief — with a single button, so the whole night moves at the class's pace, not a clock's.
