A free Taboo-style party game for any group size
Party Word Guess is a pass-and-play party game built for real people in the same room. One person holds the device and describes the secret word shown on screen to everyone else, out loud, without saying the word itself or any of the three taboo words listed right underneath it. Those taboo words are the ones too closely tied to the answer, so the describer has to get creative with clues instead of giving it away in one obvious word.
The moment the group shouts out the right guess, tap Correct and the next secret word appears instantly. Stuck on one? Tap Skip to move on with no penalty and come back to that style of clue next round. You've got 60 seconds to rack up as many correct guesses as you can before the timer runs out, then pass the device to the next describer and start a fresh round.
It's a natural fit for a reunion, a birthday party, or just a family game night, no teams or scorekeeping required beyond the simple round score, and your best single round is saved locally in this browser so the group has something to beat next time. It's free, needs no download or account, and works on any device with a screen big enough to pass around.
