Trapwords English-language board game

Trapwords is an English-language party game for two teams of equal size. Each team secretly chooses the word the opposing team must describe, along with a list of forbidden words the describer cannot use. Players guess the target word while avoiding the traps set by their rivals. The game is reminiscent of Taboo, but with a twist: the opposing team, not your own, picks the words you must avoid.

The story casts players as adventurers crawling through a fortress dungeon full of traps and curses, ending with a showdown against the Boss. The longer the game lasts, the more traps you can expect. Each round calls for creative descriptions and careful listening to the hints given by teammates.

Trapwords suits groups with a good command of English, making it a useful choice for language classes, study sessions and social evenings with friends and family.
