Overview
Your voice. Their words.
Everyone records a one-minute interview, and that minute becomes a copy of their voice. Each round one player is secretly the Mimic. The crew walks the room doing jobs out loud, each holding a private piece of the answer, while the Mimic fires lines from a soundboard of everyone's voices.
When a line plays, the real person's mic cuts out, so nobody can talk over "themselves." Then everyone meets at the table and votes. Eject the Mimic and the crew wins. Eject the wrong one and the Mimic wins.
- 4 to 8 players on one voice call, no download
- Four jobs: the vault, the lineup, the wires, the radio
- A warm-up round to train your ear: Real or Mimic
- Three shots a round from the soundboard
- A staged reveal, plus a clip and a card to share
- Leave the room and your voice copy is deleted
Everyone plays as one of Mimic's own characters. Faces lip-sync to your mic, and to the Mimic when a line is "yours."
Features
What makes it tick.
A soundboard of your friends
Pick a voice and a line, or type exactly what they say. Hear it privately, re-roll it once, and fire it at the moment it hurts most.
Every clue is spoken
Each player holds a private card with part of the answer. Say it out loud, like a normal call. The game is in what you hear.
Meet at the table
Forty-five seconds, a majority ejects. The crew scores for finding the Mimic. The Mimic scores big for walking away clean.
Replay every lie
The Mimic is unmasked, every line they fired plays back with the victim's face lip-syncing, and you can save the round as a clip and a card for the group chat.
Opt-in, 18+
Voice features need a typed signature and are optional. Leave the room or record again and your old voice copy is deleted.

Questions players ask.
How many players do you need for Mimic?
A room holds up to eight. The host can start a round with two, but the game says four or more is the real game.
Do I have to record my voice to play Mimic?
No. You can skip the interview and still play, including as the Mimic. Nobody can make a line in your voice if you skip.
How do you win as the crew in Mimic?
Eject the Mimic with a majority vote. If nobody is ejected, the crew still wins when both jobs were done.
How many lines can the Mimic fire?
Three per round. Loading, previewing and trashing lines is free, and only firing uses a shot.
Is Mimic free?
Yes. It runs free in your browser at /mimic.
