Password clues game

What do you think? I do have some questions. When my husband and I were playing and we mentioned my daughter, we were playing with close family members. Everyone knew her name and personality. For example, would names of historical people or movie stars be against the rules, since all players might not be equally familiar with them?

Have disputes ever arisen? I would love to hear from your experience! We played password with friends on zoom last night. A great quarantine game so long as both ends have access to word lists. A word list and the topic that goes with it. How do you play? I might have a word list already made that could be repurposed for it.

We played last night and had a disagreement about allowable clues. Here are the two examples. We need you to make a ruling! LOL First example, the word was Jiggle. Ah, good question! Thanks for asking! I found a pdf of the official rules to password and scoring each round which makes it more fun.

No hyphenated words, no rhyming words, no hand or body gestures, no form of the word…e. Voice inflection can be used. If the password is not guessed after 10 clues, there is no score. Play passes from Team 1 to Team 2 at each clue. The point value starts at 10 and reduces to 1. If the password is given as a clue by mistake, the round is thrown out. Challenges to clues are resolved by dictionary lookup. Each time a new word is to be guessed, play should switch to the opposite team for the first clue.

Nowhere does it say that rhyming words are unacceptable. We tried to research it and found YouTube videos of the TV show where they did use rhymes as clues. Still, I agree it would be far simpler and clearer if no rhymes were allowed for clues that have no relation other than rhyming with the Password. They also buzzed if the player took too long to come up with a clue or a guess. Some of our players have been very serious about playing — we agreed to incorporate a few other rules for clues:.

Nor is using a dictionary or an internet search prior to giving a clue or it being challenged. Stick to the clues. AND, as regards some players being so familiar with and in tune with each other that they connect words in a way other players would not, such as husbands and wives, we simply say those couples should not be on the same team. They have some kind of mind-reading going on. Similarly with best friends. We try to partner players with the person they know the least. Wow, so many good rule clarifications here!

We just rotate the teams often, and personally we think using shared knowledge with your teammate is kind of fun. In this game, each person tries to score the most points by guessing the key word from single word clues. This is a game that can be played by a variety of ages and age combinations. Password offers a variety of skill levels, depending on the limits the players set. Offer a clue. If the "B" player can not guess the card, the score marker is moved down one point.

Pass to the next team where the "A" player offers a clue. If the "B" player does not guess the word, then the scorecard moves down another point. Guess the word correctly and the team gets the points marked on the scorecard. Then "A" and "B" players switch roles. Continue until both players have offered clues for all five words on their cards.
