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.

Love the game and setup and no ads in the way. I do wish there were a few more free decks, and the decks were bigger. Still, for $1 per deck, it's well priced.

This the best party game we can play with friends and family both....the only problem is repetition of the same words .....please correct that and it will be the best game I have ever played....love it

Fun but limited questions. Spent money on a "16 pack" and it seems like it only added 16 questions. Not a game you can play for longer than 5 minutes without ads every 60 seconds every after spending $.
