The Ritual of Deception
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.
Ancient Rituals & Tones
Tailor your session with rules that define the stakes of the ritual.
- Sudden Death: A faster way to play—one wrong move ends the ritual.
- Full Elimination: Wizards must find all Doppelgangers to claim victory.
- Difficulty Toggles: Choose between **Easy Mode** (simple, kid-friendly words)
or **Standard Mode** for a greater challenge.
Custom Rituals: Create your own word pairs and inspiration questions to haunt your
friends with personalized deception.
Quest Configuration
Balance the forces of light and shadow with deep customization.
- Imposter Ratios: Dynamically adjust the number of Doppelgangers based on your
player count.
- Advanced Settings:
- Show Category: Give Doppelgangers a broad category to help their
facade.
- Show Twin: Give Doppelgangers a similar 'fake' word to deepen the
mystery.
- Show Teammates: Show Doppelgangers who their teammates are.
- Hail Mary: Give the final Doppelganger one last shot at guessing the
secret word.
The Pass and Reveal
The ritual begins in silence. Pass the device carefully to ensure only the chosen see the secret.
- The Seal: Each player must break the wax seal to reveal their secret identity
and their assigned word.
- Identity Reveal: Find out if you are a Wizard protecting the keep or a
Doppelganger aiming to destroy it.
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.
Victory or Vanquish
The moment of truth arrives. Will the Doppelgangers be banished, or will they seize the Keep?
The Hail Mary: If a Doppelganger is caught, they may have one final chance to steal
victory by guessing the Wizards' secret word.
Trust No One
Doppelganger is the ultimate test of friendship and linguistic intuition. Pure social deduction,
zero trackers—just pure atmospheric tension for your next gathering.
