Taboo Party is a word game for two teams and one phone. Get your team to guess the word on the card without saying any of the five forbidden words under it. You don't need an account to play. HOW TO PLAY The describer holds the phone and gives clues. A player from the other team watches the screen and taps Taboo when a forbidden word, or the answer itself, slips out. When time runs out, the phone goes to the other team. • Correct: one point, next card • Pass: skip the card (you choose how many passes each turn gets) • Taboo: the taboo penalty applies and the next card comes up FEATURES • Pick one deck or mix several in the same game • Set the turn length, number of rounds, pass limit, and the penalties for passes and taboos • Fix wrong taps at the end of each turn, before the score is final • A hand-off screen between turns keeps the next describer from seeing the card • Pause any time; the timer also stops when you leave the app or take a call • Sound and haptics can be turned off in Settings; sounds follow the silent switch • How to Play opens on first launch, and you can open it again from the main menu • Available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese (Brazil) • Plays without an internet connection • No ads, no subscriptions • iPhone and iPad
