Get your team to guess the word on your card without saying any of the five forbidden words underneath. Forbidden! is a party word game where you have to find another way to say it. How to play Hold the phone and describe the word before time runs out. Each correct guess earns your team a point. Say a forbidden word and you lose a point, unless you've turned that penalty off. You can pass if you get stuck, but you have a limited number of passes. Before you start, choose a round length from 30 to 120 seconds. Cards and languages More than 5,600 cards in each language across six topics: Cultural, Sports, Movies & TV, Food & Drink, Science and History. Each topic has three difficulty levels. The cards and the app are available in English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Indonesian, Hungarian, Arabic, Korean and Vietnamese. Ways to play - Solo or team play: play solo or set up 2 to 4 teams of 1 to 5 players. Choose your own team and player names. - Online play: everyone plays on their own phone. One person creates a room, and the others join using the room code. - Kid Mode: picture cards for young children, with no forbidden words or point penalties. This mode is free. There are no ads and no account to create. When playing on a single phone, you can play offline. Free and Forbidden+ Three of the six topics are free each week. The selection changes weekly.
