Forbidden Words

How to play

1. Form 2-8 teams and choose three or five turns per team. Pick a clue-giver and a host who checks the forbidden words. Each turn uses one card.
2. Keep the screen facing only the clue-giver and host. Guessers sit opposite and must not see the card. Select Show my card, then Start explaining. The card stays visible during the 60-second turn.
3. Explain the answer without saying it, parts of it, word-family variations or any of the four forbidden words. No spelling, translations or gestures. The host judges the clues.
4. Guessed it awards one point. Pass, Forbidden word used or running out of time ends the turn without points. Correct the current result if needed, then choose Next team. Each team receives the same number of turns.

1. Use one phone or tablet for the group. Add teams and select three or five turns per team.
2. Hold the device so only the clue-giver and host see the screen. Tap Show my card and Start explaining. Do not turn the card towards the guessers.
3. Describe the target word aloud while avoiding the four forbidden words and related forms. The card stays visible to help the clue-giver remember the restrictions.
4. Tap Guessed it, Pass or Forbidden word used to end the turn. The host can correct the result before passing the device to the next team. Hide card / pause hides the words and pauses the timer.
