Word Impostors is a collaboration between myself and developer Michael Fogleman. Michael developed an algorithm for creating very convincing fake words, and we developed the game idea for Word Impostors, a guessing game where people attempt to tell fake words from real ones. The gameplay is simple: a user is dealt a card with a number of words on them, and they must tap the real one in order to score points. Pick too many impostors and the game is over!
I developed a series of wireframes for gameplay covering several different modes of play (single and multiplayer, several game types). I also developed the visual style for Word Impostors, choosing a classical feel for this fun, quick-paced word game.
