The game had great timing to blow up during the pandemic. This game allowed friends to be able to connect without having to leave the safety of their homes. Senior Taylor Vannest said that the game is sometimes frustrating because the imposter would often accuse you of being the imposter.“It’s really enjoyable, and frustrating at times,” Vannest said.
