An icebreaker here has to be explainable in one sentence and finished before anyone feels stuck with a secret they do not understand. Would You Rather is that game. Impostor is the second game, after names have been said once.
Mafia, Alibi and Sketch & Guess ask for too much procedure on a first meeting. Use them after the opener, or not at all.
No secrets, no timer, no winner that matters. Four cards, and each person says one reason.
Similar Word, not Blank. Blank is hostile if someone has not spoken yet. One round, then stop even if they want another.
Only if the group is already laughing. Random genre, names on, so a quiet person still gets a line on the page.
The night script and a public vote are a bad first impression. People do not know who they are accusing.
Interrogation before trust feels like a test. Save it for a group that has already played something lighter.
The scenarios assume office and late-night jokes. Fine for adults who know each other, clumsy for a first meeting of mixed ages.
Would You Rather for four cards. If you still have five minutes and at least four people, one Similar Word Impostor. Do not open Mafia.
