Played a few times and saw the same words over and over

Super repetitive, it’s the same words over and over again there is no point in using this app or buying another pack unless for a one time use if you’re really bored.

FAQ

What is this app?

This app is a digital version of the popular party game where players describe a word without using a list of forbidden 'taboo' words. It's designed for groups and can be played with friends remotely using video chat.

How do you play?

Players split into two teams. One player from a team acts as the clue-giver and tries to get their teammates to guess the main word on the card. They must avoid saying any of the 'taboo' words listed on the card. If they do, the opposing team can buzz them, and points are lost.

Is this app free to play?

The app is free to download and play, offering an ad-free experience. Additional themed card decks are available for purchase within the app to expand your gameplay options.

What devices is this app compatible with?

The app is available on mobile devices and supports multiple languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Greek, Polish, and Hindi, making it accessible to a global audience.

What makes this game unique?

This app stands out by integrating video chat directly into the gameplay, allowing for virtual house parties. It also offers extensive customization options for game rules, such as the number of players, rounds, and skips, alongside a full starter deck and purchasable themed decks.
