The Circus pack

Under the big top — a clown, a tightrope, a ringmaster, a human cannonball. An Imposter+ pack. Half the words are performers and half are the acts they do, which gives clue-givers two clear lanes.

The word list

These are every word in the Circus pack. In a game the crew sees one of them exactly; the impostor sees only the sub-theme in the right-hand column.

Giving clues for this pack

If you're on the crew

Describe the act or the costume. "Red nose", "tiny car", "honk" all say clown. "Circus" or "under the big top" is the setting, not a clue.

If you're the impostor

You have "circus" already. Use "performer", "the crowd gasps", "you'd see it in the ring" and let the crew reveal whether it's a person or one of the acts.

A sample round

Secret word

Ringmaster

Crew clues

  • “top hat”
  • “announces”
  • “in charge”

Impostor's clue

“big top”

The tell: "Big top" named the tent, not the person in it. The crew were describing the one who introduces every act; the impostor described the venue.

Play the Circus pack

Pick Circus on the setup screen — it needs an Imposter+ subscription. Or leave the pack on Random and the vault will still deal from it sometimes.
