How to play Off Limits

Get them to guess the word without saying what's off limits.

  1. Make two teams and choose rounds and turn length. One round gives both teams one turn. A different teammate gives clues each time. Only the clue-giver and an opponent checking the rules may look at the phone.

  2. Start the timer when ready. Explain the target aloud without saying it, any forbidden word, or their forms. Do not spell, gesture or make sound effects. Your teammates call out guesses without seeing the card.

  3. A correct guess gives your team 1 point. Skipping or breaking a clue rule gives the opponents 1 point. The app moves to the next card. At zero, scoring stops and the card is hidden. After equal turns, the highest score wins; ties stay tied.

  4. Keep going through all rounds, taking turns as a clue-giver. Each round, a different person from each team explains. Final score determines the winner; compare totals after all rounds are complete.
