Can you describe an APPLE without using the words RED, FRUIT, PIE, CIDER or CORE?
Taboo is the ultimate brain-teasing, word-twisting adult party game. Play with video chat and throw a house party on your phone! Split into two 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.
If you use a taboo word by mistake, the other team will buzz and you’ll lose a point.
Think fast and talk your way to victory!
HOW TO PLAY TABOO:
1. Start a game and invite your friends.
2. Split into two teams and name your team.
3. The app chooses a Clue-giver for each team. Each team then takes their turn!
4. The Clue-giver draws a card. The Clue-giver must describe the word without saying any of the words on the card.
5. Team B will buzz if the Clue-giver says a taboo word!
6. Your team must guess as many words as possible before the time runs out.

Too much money
I bought the app, and then it turns out they give you one small deck that you’ll start getting repeats on within 20 minutes. You can keep buying extra decks if you want, but I wasn’t about to keep spending money on this. Wouldn’t recommend it. Just look up a taboo card generator online instead.

Not enough cards for the price
Love the game but too expensive. Played maybe 5 times before getting mostly repeats.

Horrible app
Taboo is my favorite game. Was traveling so decided to get the app. It was horrible. You can play for a short time before it starts repeating the words. I paid extra for another category and after spending 15 minutes trying to find it we played for about a10 minutes before it started repeating the same words again. This is the WORST app I’ve ever tried. Don’t waste your time or money.

Played a few times and saw the same words over and over
Super repetitive, it’s the same words over and over again there is no point in using this app or buying another pack unless for a one time use if you’re really bored.

Paying for every tabu deck does not make sense
I paid for the app to play with my friends thinking compared to free apps i will have considerable deck of cards. After I bought the app, I realized i need to buy each deck separately and it comes with one free deck and the deck is finished in a couple of turn 🙁

Love it but
Love it but I wish there was an option to tell the app how many people are on a team so the number of rounds is accurate. Maybe there is and I just missed it?

Worst implementation of the common party game
The game play is just horrible. It takes an age to move onto the next word. Within a couple of games, the words start repeating. I paid for this idiotic app, and i am ashamed of myself.

Great game! Eager for a stats section or history section!
Excuse the semantics, but I am excited for this game and its future on mobile, but I love the game! I have so much fun with family and friends! My one desire would be a stats/history section that would allow me to see the previous games I’ve played with team names and scores; not even necessarily the cards each rounds (although that’d be nice too) but the results of each game in the past. If any developers see this, maybe they’ll consider informing the higher ups of this change. I love the game and thank you!

Repeated same questions after 2 rounds
We loved playing the game for 2 rounds but after that, it kept showing the same cards. There should be more cards in the deck but we kept getting the same words. It was so boring and it shouldn’t happen. Not worth the money! When we asked for a refund, Apple said not eligible.

Repeat words every round
You can’t play more than one round without repeat after repeat after repeat. Not even worth 2 bucks if you want to play more than once.

Not very many words come with the initial purchase which felt like a bait and switch

Don’t buy this if you have the card deck
$2 for nothing original, same as the basic deck. Then $1 for additional cards.

Words Repeated after One Game
Very disappointing! Words already started repeating during second game and if you want more words they make you pay. Other reviews are clearly bots. I do not recommend.

Please Don’t waste your money
We bought this and played for 30 minutes before we ran out of new cards and started seeing repeats. Of course they would like you to spend more money to purchase additional packs. Someone should call the better business bureau.
