Mr White
One player is Mr White - they don't know the secret word everyone else knows. Give clues, catch the imposter, or deduce the word to win!
What is Mr White?
Mr White is a social deduction word game where all players except one (Mr White) know a secret word. Players take turns giving one-word clues about the secret word, trying to help others while not being too obvious for Mr White.
Mr White must listen carefully to all the clues and try to deduce the secret word without being discovered. Players win by correctly identifying Mr White, while Mr White wins by either staying hidden or correctly guessing the word!
How to Play Mr White
Secret Word Assignment
One player is secretly designated as Mr White. All other players see the same secret word (like "Pizza" or "Birthday"), but Mr White sees only "You are Mr White."
Give One-Word Clues
Going around the circle, each player gives a single word related to the secret word. Clues should be helpful but not too obvious, as Mr White is listening and learning.
Discussion & Voting
After everyone gives a clue, players discuss who they think is Mr White. Vague clues or odd connections might expose the imposter. Vote on who you think Mr White is!
Final Guess
If Mr White is caught, they get one chance to guess the secret word. If correct, Mr White wins! If wrong or if an innocent player was accused, the team loses.
