## What is Fishbowl?

Whether you call it Fish Bowl, Salad Bowl or Clue Bowling, the party game is now easier than ever on your phone! Fishbowl is a team-based party game where players write clues, toss them in the bowl, and take turns guessing through three rounds of increasing difficulty.
 
Round 1: Describe It — say anything except the word itself.
Round 2: Charades — act it out, no talking allowed.
Round 3: One Word — a single word is all you get.

The same clues carry through all three rounds, so paying attention matters. By Round 3, you'll be amazed what a single word can trigger.

How to play:
- One person creates a room and shares the code
- Everyone joins and writes clues on their phone
- Teams take turns — one person gives clues while their team guesses
- The team with the most points after three rounds wins

No board, no paper slips, no app switching. Just phones and friends.

Features:
- Works across platforms — everyone plays together
- No accounts required — join with a room code
- Captain controls for team setup, turn order, and scoring
- Two visual themes: Goldfish and Neon
- Landscape support during gameplay

Free. No ads. No data collection.
