Doppelganger

Find the hidden imposters.

Doppelganger is a high-stakes social deduction game where wizards must identify the imposters in their midst. Using secret word pairs, you must weave clues that prove your identity to friends without tipping off the Doppelgangers.

Discussion & The Vote

Words are your only weapon. Clues must be broad enough to be true, but specific enough to be wizardry.

  • Inquisition: Use the inspiration questions to spark debate and look for the cracks in their stories.
  • The Casting: When discussion ends, players must point their wands at the one they suspect of being a Doppelganger.
