How to Play

What is the Forbidden Word Game?

It's a Taboo-style party game. You must describe the target word without using any of the forbidden words. Your team scores a point each time they guess correctly.

How do you play?

Select a category or create custom words, set the timer, and start. The describer explains the target word without using forbidden words. Press Correct when the team guesses right, Pass to skip, or Foul if a forbidden word was used.

How do I create a custom word set?

Go to the 'Custom' tab, enter a target word and up to 5 forbidden words. Using friends' names or shared interests makes the game even more fun.

How does the share feature work?

After the game, press 'Share Game Set' to copy the word set to your clipboard. Share it via any messaging app to invite friends.

What counts as a foul?

Using a forbidden word, its synonym, a foreign-language translation, or hinting at it through gestures all count as fouls. Agree on rules before starting to avoid disputes.

What happens when the timer ends?

The game ends automatically and a score summary screen appears, showing correct answers, passes, and fouls.

How many players do you need?

At least 3 players. Splitting into 2 teams adds competitive fun. 4–8 players is the sweet spot for a party game.

Are word sets saved?

Word sets persist only for the current session. Use the share button to copy your favorite sets and save them in notes.
