Buying Mimic Party on Steam: the price, the launch discount, the free Playtest route, Family Sharing and the clone pages to avoid.

Quick Answer: What Does Mimic Party Cost, and Can You Try It Free?
Mimic Party sells for $6.99 on Steam, and a launch-window discount of 15% brought it to $5.94 — check the store page for the live price, since launch pricing does not age well as a fact. The genuine free route is the official Playtest (a separate free Steam app, live since August 20, 2026): playtest slots are handed out first through the official Mimic Party Discord. Beyond the base game there is exactly one paid add-on at launch — the All Characters DLC at $3.99 — and a bundle with the studio's other voice game Animic at $9.29. Anything advertising a free browser version of Mimic Party is a clone; the section below names names.
- Base game: $6.99 (launch discount: $5.94) on Steam, Windows only.
- Free Playtest: separate free app, slots distributed via the official Discord.
- All Characters DLC: $3.99 — every character unlocked instantly, including the Discord exclusive (details in our DLC guide).
- Mimic Party + Animic bundle: $9.29 (about 9% off buying both separately).
- Family Sharing: supported. Steam Cloud: no Auto-Cloud configured — saves live in local Steam userdata.
Clone Warning: There Is No Official Free Browser Version
Two third-party products currently borrow the Mimic Party name, and both are worth steering friends away from. The first: a "Mimic Party" page on IndieDB and ModDB advertising a "free browser voice imitation game" — its own description admitted it was "not affiliated with FoliesAPP or Valve", the listed author is one lijing123lll, and the page has since been deleted. It worked differently from the real game anyway (players passing a single mic on one device instead of everyone recording simultaneously online). The second: a free "Mimic Game" on the Microsoft Store published by Powlx Games, whose description lifts the real game's marketing language — one-shot takes, the wheel, the fart swap — without being it. The only legitimate free way to play Mimic Party today is the official Playtest. And while we are disambiguating: Google Play's "Mimic: Party Word Game" is a word game, mimicthegame.com is a physical card game, "Secret of the Mimic" belongs to the Five Nights at Freddy's universe, and Roblox's "The Mimic" is a horror game — none of them are this game, which is why this site always writes the full name.
| Product | What it actually is |
|---|---|
| IndieDB / ModDB "Mimic Party" | Third-party browser clone (author lijing123lll, self-described "not affiliated"); page deleted |
| Microsoft Store "Mimic Game" | Third-party clone by Powlx Games copying the marketing copy |
| Official Playtest | The real free option — separate Steam app, Discord-distributed slots |
Buying Notes: Cloud Saves and the Refund Window
Two mechanics worth knowing before purchase. Steam Cloud has no Auto-Cloud configured for Mimic Party, so treat your local userdata as the only copy when reinstalling or switching machines. On refunds, the standard two-hour window is unusually generous here: a game session is about ten minutes, so you can test your microphone, join a few lobbies and still refund comfortably if launch-window server trouble locks you out — seven of the reviews we surveyed mention doing exactly that. The official store page is also where the launch discount and any future sales will live.
