One phone. Two teams. Describe the word, dodge the forbidden five, and catch the other team slipping. Taboo Party is a fast, loud party word game — no account or setup required; choose a deck and start playing. HOW IT PLAYS One player describes the word on screen to their team. The catch: five forbidden words are off limits. A player from the OTHER team watches over their shoulder and hits the buzz button the moment a forbidden word slips out. Race the clock, rack up points, and pass the phone to the next describer. • Got it — score the point and pull the next card • Skip — move on (capped per turn, your call) • Buzz — the watcher catches a forbidden word; the card is burned WHAT'S INSIDE • Free starter decks, playable right away • Premium decks to unlock — or grab the Complete Bundle and own them all, future decks included • A polished two-team match loop: hand-off, play, review, results • A clean turn-review screen — fix any mis-taps before the score locks in • Customizable rules: timer length, number of rounds, skip cap, skip penalty, taboo penalty • Plays in six languages — English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese (Brazil): the interface AND the cards, written natively for each language (not machine-translated) • Sound and haptics tuned for a party, with a master mute and respect for your phone's silent switch • Pause and resume: step away or take a call, then continue while the match remains open • A how-to-play walkthrough on first launch, re-openable any time DESIGNED FOR THE ROOM Big tap targets, glanceable cards, forgiving of mis-taps, and a deliberate hand-off screen so the next describer can't peek at the upcoming cards. iPhone and iPad, portrait. PLAY ANYWHERE No account required. Matches work without an internet connection.
