Taboo - Official Party Game

It’s the best of all the word games! Throw a house party on your phone and play Taboo with video chat! Split into 2 teams and take it in turns to describe the word - just don’t use the word or any of the words on the card! Your team has to guess as many words as possible before the timer runs out!

Like Charades and Heads Up!, Taboo is fun for adults and teens. How do you describe APPLE when the words RED, FRUIT, PIE, CIDER and CORE are all taboo? If you use a taboo word by mistake, the other team will buzz and you’ll lose a point! Have noisy fun with your friends and family. The app works if you’re together in one place, or apart via video chat! The buzzer, timer, cards and video chat are built in - all you need is your phone. Think fast, talk fast and crush the competition!

HOW TO PLAY

Create a game
Start a game and invite your friends. Or create an in-app chat group with your friends and start a game from your chat!
Taboo is a game for 2-6 online players, with video chat included. This means you can play face-to-face even when you can’t be together. You can also play with as many friends as you like, in person, with Local Party Mode.

Divide into two teams
Split into two teams and name your team.

A Clue-giver is assigned from Team A
A clue-giver from team A will be chosen by the app. In the next round, a Clue-giver from team B will take their turn.

The Clue-giver draws a card
Only the Clue-giver from Team A, and all of Team B, can see the card. The Clue-giver must try to tell their team what the word is, without saying any of the Taboo words.

Team B stand by the Buzzer
Team B will buzz if the Clue-giver says a Taboo word!

Watch the timer
Your team must guess as many words as possible before the time runs out. You’ll win 1 point per correct guess.

Passing on a card
You can skip 2 cards every turn. After that, the other team will get 1 point every time you skip a card.

Finishing the game
The game ends when every player has taken a turn as Clue-giver. Or when each team has had an equal number of turns as Clue-giver.

LOCAL PARTY MODE
