About Imposketch
Imposketch is a small, independent party game: everyone draws the same thing, except one player who is secretly drawing something slightly different. It is made by Ohad Fisher in Herzliya, Israel.

Why it exists
Most drawing games online are guessing games: one person draws, everybody else types guesses. They're fun, but the person drawing does the work and everyone else waits. Imposketch borrows the hidden-role idea from social deduction games instead. Everyone draws at once, everyone is a suspect, and the drawings themselves are the evidence. Nobody waits for a turn and nobody needs to be good at drawing.
The look-alike prompt pairs are the heart of it. A cow and a dalmatian, a sun and a flower, a whale and a submarine: pairs similar enough that the impostor can blend in, and different enough that one honest detail can give them away.
How it is made
Imposketch runs in any modern browser and is free to play without an account. It is built and tested by one developer, and the rules on our rules page are written from the same code the game uses to score rounds, so the rulebook and the scoreboard always agree.
The game screens are kept deliberately calm: a lobby, the drawing canvas, the spotlight replays, a final vote and the results. Anything that isn't part of playing, like guides, comparisons and help pages, lives on separate pages like this one.
What we will and won't do
- No account required to play, ever.
- No ads on the drawing, spotlight or voting screens.
- Optional paid items are cosmetic only. They never change how a round is scored.
- Rules and scoring are published in full on the rules page, with nothing hidden.
