## What is FyshBowl?

FyshBowl is a party word game. It combines the best parts of classic party games, like charades and password, all into one! Rounds get harder, faster, and crazier as they go! Players create their own 'Fyshes' (words or phrases) to put in the bowl, so things like inside jokes, current events, and complete randomness are on the table! The host makes a game and players submit their Fyshes secretly on their own phones. Once all the Fyshes are in, only the host phone is required and you are ready to play! 

So what are you waiting for? Grab some friends and get Fyshing!

### 5/5 — Problem

*2025-11-30*

I’m having trouble getting past the Choose Rounds screen. On iPhone. Looks like a great way to play the game online when we were out of paper.

### 5/5 — So Great! Almost Too Great...

*2019-08-27*

This game is incredible! Hands down, I can’t recommend it enough. This game is great for parties and other social gatherings, but unfortunately, there is a sinister dark side to this game. 

It all started when I first downloaded this app. My wife and I had our first child only eight months before I became aware of this app. I was trying my hardest to be a good father, I was avoiding any and all distractions so I could remain focused on raising my daughter. Unfortunately, once I discovered this app I was immediately sucked into its mesmerizing interface and enjoyable gameplay. I would play this game nonstop. Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. I stopped going to work and I lost my job. I stopped picking my daughter up from daycare. I stopped making love to my wife. Eventually I became so consumed by this app that my wife divorced me and took my daughter with her. I tried to win custody of my daughter, but the judge decided I was an “unfit parent with unhealthy gaming habits”. 

All in all, this game is fantastic! However, it’s also directly responsible for ruining my career, marriage, and relationship with my daughter. But it was all worth it.

### 5/5 — Fun with friends!

*2017-03-13*

No need for paper and pencil anymore to play fishbowl! Easy to learn and play with a group.
