Movie Night
Enter your favorite movies or TV shows. Play before or after watching — seeing how well everyone describes their favorites is half the fun.

📝 What Makes Good Custom Imposter Words?
Not every word works equally well in the Imposter Game. The best custom words share these traits:
- ✅ Familiar to the whole group — everyone must be able to give a clue about it.
- ✅ Describable in multiple ways — words with only one obvious descriptor make the imposter too easy to catch.
- ✅ Not too abstract — "Love" or "Freedom" are hard to give clues for. "Guitar" or "Camping" work better.
- ✅ Mix easy and hard — alternate simple and tricky words across rounds to vary difficulty.
- ❌ Avoid proper nouns that only some players know.
- ❌ Avoid extremely niche or technical terms unless the whole group shares that expertise.
