How to play
- 01
See your private card. Everyone but the Mimic knows the secret word.
- 02
Take turns giving one clue. Blend in without making the word obvious.
- 03
Discuss, then vote for the player you suspect. Tied votes get lightning clues.
- 04
Catch the Mimic — but they can still escape by guessing the word.
What it looks like
Scoring
Escaping earns the Mimic 2 points. A correct last-chance guess earns 1. If caught with a wrong guess, the crowd earns 2 each.
In Rumpus Grand Prix
Every round counts: an escaped or correctly guessing Mimic earns 3; if caught, each other participant earns 1. Sum all rounds, then double for a wild-card final.
