HOW TO PLAY

Forbidden

Get an eligible guesser to name your target without saying any of the three banned words.

SETUP

Get ready

The rotating describer receives a private target and banned-word list. In team mode, only the active team may guess.

HOW TO PLAY

Take your turn

  1. The describer explains the target aloud.
  2. Eligible players can make several typed guesses while the phase is open.
  3. The first accepted guess ends the round; the describer or host may pass.
WINNING

Finish on top

The first correct guesser and the describer each score 1,000. Passes and timeouts score zero.

QUICK TIPS

Play smarter

  • Use examples, opposites, and situations instead of close synonyms.
  • Guessers can try up to ten times, but rapid-fire guesses are limited.
