## What is Forbidden!?

FORBIDDEN! is the party word game where every word you want to say is off-limits.

You see a word on your card. Your friends have to guess it. But you can't use ANY of the 5 forbidden clue words underneath it. Race the timer, pass tough cards, and outsmart the bans. Say the wrong thing? -1 point.

- Wild, simple, family-friendly fun
- Solo or team mode (2-4 teams, 1-5 players each)
- 6 topic categories: Cultural, Sports, Movies & TV, Food & Drink, Science, History
- Cards in 10 languages: English, German, French, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Vietnamese, Arabic and Turkish
- 3 difficulty levels: Basic, Medium, Hard
- 4,700+ word cards
- Customizable rules: round duration, max passes, forbidden penalty on/off

HOW TO PLAY
1. Pick a topic and difficulty
2. One player describes the word on the card - without using any of the 5 forbidden clues
3. Teammates shout out guesses
4. Each correct guess = +1, each forbidden word said = -1, passes are limited
5. Most points when the timer runs out, wins the round

TEAM MODE
Make it a competition. Set up 2-4 teams with custom names and player rosters. Players take turns describing for their team. Run as many rounds as you want. Track scores, forbidden violations, and pass counts per team. Highest score at the end wins.

PERFECT FOR
- Game nights with family or friends
- Parties, road trips, holidays
- Quick fun anytime: rounds are only 60 seconds (and adjustable)

NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-UP
The cards play fully offline. No login, no registration. Your settings stay on your device.
