A downloadable project

These are instruction for a semi-digital party game

Requirements & Setup:

- 4 or more players
- Two ways of interacting with other players are required: 
- The first one is anonymous so that players don't know who is who; for example all player are logged into a messenger group chat with anonymous accounts
- The second way of interaction is not anonymous; players know who is who; Ideally the group sits together in one room

Goal: 
Over multiple rounds everyone from the group will impersonate one person from the group within the anonymous chat room. Everybody guesses who is the original and who is an impersonator. The best impersonator wins.

Gameplay Preparation: 
1. On the non-anonymous interaction platform: 
Decide on one player that is the impersonated one.
Everybody else is an impersonator.
2. On the non-anonymous interaction platform:
Decide on a topic for the round; e.g. Animals, Food, Games, Movies, Hobbies, Traveling / Nature, Crafting Tools, ...(if possible choose a topic, that fits the impersonated one OR the impersonated one picks a topic)
3. On the anonymous interaction platform: 
Everybody changes their name to ___ & deletes their tag & changes their PFP to one agreed upon beforehand, so that everyone has the same pfp

Gameplay Turn:
a) Each round has one task, that all players(including the impersonated one) must fulfill on the anonymous platform; e.g. Write a word into the chat that fits the topic agreed on before; Choose a word that you think the impersonated one would write into the chat. (e.g. if your topic is 'food' and you know the impersonated one really likes 'pizza funghi' then you should write that 'pizza funghi')
(Example tasks below)
b) After everyone completed the task, the non-anonymous discussion round begins: 
Players (except the impersonated one) argue which message most likely is or is not written by the impersonated person.
(e.g. People who wrote 'pizza funghi' convince the others that the impersonated one likes it, while other who wrote 'pizza margeritha' try to convince everybody that the impersonated one likes margeritha more)
c) After 1 minute the discussion round ends;
Now every player votes for the message that they are sure doesn't belong to the impersonated person; (It's up to the player to decide how the voting precedure should take place)
The player who wrote the message that got the most votes reveals themself; 
If it's an impersonater than the person lost the round, but the game continues;
Voted out players can still participate in the tasks & voting, but they have to make themself non-anonymous even on the anonymous platform;
As soon as the account of the impersonated one gets voted out the game ends;

Scoring:
For each round that a player is not voted out they get 1 point; 

Repeat until everyone was the impersonated one once

Example task:
1. Everybody write a word matching the topic & try sounding like the impersonated one
2. Everybody change your social media user name to something that seems like the impersonated would choose as username (& it matches the topic)
3. Everybody write one full sentence about the topic, that the impersonated one most likely write  
4. Everybody change your profile picture to one of the discord gifs according to the topic, that the impersonated one would probably pick
5. Add a description sentence to your profile
6. React to someones message, with another text

Variation:
The impersonated one also takes part in the discussion round, but tries to get voted out as fast as possible. When the game ends the impersonated one gets one point for each player that did not yet get voted out.
