About this game

Can you describe PIZZA without saying Italian, round, cheese or oven? That's Redword: a forbidden word party game where one player describes, the team shouts out guesses, and four forbidden words turn every clue into a challenge.

🎯 HOW TO PLAY
Split into two teams, or play in individual mode. Hand one phone to the player who's describing. They see a word and its four forbidden words (the taboo list for that card); everyone else guesses out loud before the timer runs out.
• Guessed it? Tap Correct: +1 point.
• Too tough? Skip it (3 skips per round).
• Someone said a forbidden word? Hit the red Forbidden button: −1 point.
Then pass the phone to the other team. The team with the most points wins.

🎉 WHAT'S INSIDE
• 2,800+ words across 46 categories: animals, food, jobs, sports, technology, feelings and more
• 4 difficulty levels: Beginner, Medium, Hard and Mixed
• Team vs team, or individual mode that saves your best score for every setting
• 30, 45 or 60-second rounds, or set your own timer
• House rules: choose 3 or 5 skips per round (or no limit) and turn the −1 penalty on or off
• No repeats: cards you've played won't come back until you've been through the whole deck
• Play in English, Turkish, Russian or Azerbaijani
• Each language has its own deck, written for that language, not a word-for-word translation
• Dark and light themes

👥 ANY GROUP SIZE
Three friends at a cafe or twenty people at a party: split into two teams of any size and play on one phone. For quick rounds, individual mode tracks your personal best.

📴 PLAYS OFFLINE
No Wi-Fi, no account, no sign-up. Open it and start a round on the bus, in a cabin, on a flight or anywhere the signal drops.

🎈 WHEN TO PLAY
