About this game

Take the fun wherever you go with Taboo! It's the famous party game on mobile!

ABOUT THE GAME
It’s the game Ellen played with Katy Perry on her show. Like Charades with words not actions, split into 2 teams and take it in turns to describe the words on the cards. Your team has to guess as many as possible before the timer runs out! Play with video chat and throw a house party on your phone!

Taboo is a group game for adults and perfect for a fun night in with friends. How do you describe APPLE when the words RED, FRUIT, PIE, CIDER and CORE are all taboo? If you use a taboo word by mistake, the other team will buzz and you’ll lose a point. Have noisy hilarious fun either online using in-game video chat or in person. Split into two teams, or go head-to-head in One Vs All Mode. Think fast and talk your way to victory!

Ratings and reviews

It could be great- but there are way too many problems. Half the time I can't open the Online Video Mode. When I do and invite people, it usually says Game Ended and they have to go to the home screen and get into Online Video Mode to enter a friend's game. Sometimes the app won't even start. If everything works for a moment, the video and sound work fine. Again, could be great. If it wasn't completely broken.

Worth playing once but such a rip off! Every person you play with has to purchase the decks in order to use them. Otherwise, only the person who purchased them gets to use those cards. If you buy the board game you can have unlimited players with all the decks! Rip off in my opinion and ruined a potentially good game. After one round we started getting repeat cards so not even enough to truly enjoy the game.

Good interface but can be better if following things can be included 1. We should have the option of modifying the timer 2. We should have the option of modifying the number of teams instead of defaulting it to 2 3. Maximum turns available are 20 only, instead let the players decide the length of the game, if they want to limit it by number of turns (by making the max limit to atleast 500 or so) or if they want to limit it by score (eg. first to reach 'xyz' score)

What's new

Get ready for some pure chaotic word wrangling fun - for the first time ever, the Taboo: Official Party Game has come to mobile! If you love party games you will love this and you can do it all with video chat already included in the app, no extras needed!
