Which one suits you?
Say It Different
Two teams, 60 seconds, one word after another – and the obvious words are off limits. A watcher from the other team sees the same card and hits “Forbidden!” the moment one slips out.
Pick Say It Different when there are four or more of you and it’s allowed to get loud.
Fib Finder
A baffling question with a blank, and everyone makes up a believable wrong answer. Then all the answers appear side by side with the truth: spot the real one and you score – fool others and you score too.
Pick Fib Finder when you love spinning a tale and know each other well enough to fool one another.
