  1. New featureLatest

    The impostor overhaul

    • This release is almost entirely the work of James (Jatenshii), who rebuilt the site’s visual language from top to bottom, built the new quote hints system, and put together the per-character series stats. Huge thanks for all of it.
    • The whole site has been rebuilt around a new space-station look: a twinkling starfield behind every page, glass panels throughout, a proper crewmate mark, and clue tiles that are far easier to read at a glance.
    • Winning or losing now plays out as a full ejection sequence. The verdict types itself out one character at a time and the crewmate drifts off into space, with your guesses, streak and next rotation laid out underneath.
    • Quote hints work differently. Instead of one clue appearing automatically after three wrong guesses, you are now dealt a draw of three broad clues and choose the single one you want to keep. The quote itself reads as a live transcript.
    • Character profiles now carry a full series record from the community stat sheet: games played, win rate, kills and K/D, impostor and crewmate splits, tasks, meetings and more.
    • The Characters page has a search box that matches any name a crewmate answers to, plus a creator circle rail for jumping straight to a group.
    • The All Crewmates list has become a Crew Manifest ship console, with grouped tabs, scroll cues and a wider layout.
    • Name the Crewmates has a new run console with a ring timer and roll-call tiles, and a gold badge when you set a new best.
    • You can now support the game on Ko-fi as well as Patreon, and a few fixes came along for the ride: Lannan is accepted as an answer for LazarBeam, long clue values wrap to fit their row, and browsing the cast is a good deal lighter to load.

    Ads added to keep the site free

    • Added a small number of display ads across the site to cover hosting and image-bandwidth costs so every mode stays free: no paywalls, no accounts.
    • Ads may take a little while to appear as Google reviews the placements; empty space in the meantime is normal.
    • Placements are kept clear of the guess input and game controls, and the mobile ad bar can be dismissed at any time.
  4. New feature

    New mode: Unlimited Quotes

    • New Unlimited Quotes mode, the on-demand version of Quote mode. Read a fresh line and guess who said it, round after round with no daily wait, and hit Play Again to keep going.
    • Six guesses per quote with the same optional hint after three wrong guesses as daily Quote mode.
    • Quotes are dealt from a shuffled deck, so you see every quote once before any repeat, and never the same quote two rounds in a row.
    • Daily plays/wins/losses reset at midnight; the mode is independent and doesn't affect your daily Quote streak.
  5. Fixes & polish

    Height bug fix and Groups reorder

    • Fixed a bug where Ethans and Jack Josephs height was showing incorrectly.
    • Moved around some Creator Circle Groups for some characters and adding new group called 'Inside' for people that were on the sidemen inside show
  6. New feature

    New mode: Name the Crewmates, character profile pages, and roster reshuffle

    • Every character now has their own profile page. Tap any face on the Characters page to read a write-up about them alongside their full stats.
    • New Name the Crewmates mode, a memory speed-run where you race to name the entire cast from a grid of blank tiles. No impostor, no daily wait.
    • Pick your challenge: play untimed or against a 3, 5, or 10-minute countdown, and choose a grid grouped by creator circle or one ungrouped wall.
    • Typing is forgiving: matching is typo-tolerant and accepts main names or handles. When the run ends, every crewmate you missed is revealed, and your best score is saved per time limit.
    • Roster reshuffle: Arthur, George Clarkey and Bach now sit in a new Friends From Work creator circle.
    • Ellum has moved over to the Variety circle.
  7. News

    Roster news, collapsible intros, and quicker mode-hopping

    • Roster update: KSI (JJ) has officially left the Sidemen and joined Sidemen Friends. There's now a homepage banner to mark the end of an era.
    • The big block of intro text on each game page is now collapsible, so you can get straight to guessing and only expand the lore when you want it.
    • Added quick mode-switcher tabs (Classic / Quote / Unlimited) right on each game page, so no more trekking back to the menu to change modes.
    • The All Crewmates list is now grouped by creator circle, just like the Characters page, to make narrowing down the impostor a little easier.
    • Correction: Jack Joseph is 26, not 29. We aged the poor man three years for no reason and have since apologised profusely. He's looking great for 26.
  8. New feature

    Site overhaul

    • Each game mode now has its own page (Classic, Quote, and Unlimited), and the homepage is a proper landing page with a mode selector.
    • New content pages: How to Play, Characters (full cast grid with profiles), About, FAQ, Contact, and this Changelog.
    • Site-wide header navigation and an expanded footer so every page is reachable from anywhere.
    • Privacy policy rewritten with clearer fan-project framing, image attribution, and a Google ads disclosure.
    • Sitemap and per-page metadata expanded so search engines can finally index the whole site.
  9. New feature

    Unlimited mode

    • New Unlimited mode: play round after round without waiting for the daily reset.
    • Daily plays/wins/losses stats reset at midnight, independent from the Classic streak.
    • Guarantee no back-to-back repeat of the same impostor in Unlimited.
  10. Fixes & polish

    Quality of life and quote hint

    • Quote mode now reveals an additional hint after the third wrong guess.
    • Small UI polish across both modes: tile reveal timing, mobile layout fixes.
  11. New feature

    How to Play modal and character profiles

    • Per-mode How to Play modals so first-time players can learn the rules without leaving the game.
    • Click any character in the All Crewmates list to see their full attribute profile.
