Fish bowl has 3 rounds of game play where teams will take turns trying to guess as many of the words in the bowl as they can. Turns last 90 seconds and the team with the most phrases guessed at the end of the game wins!
The first round is Taboo where the clue giver can describe the phrase using any words except the words in the phrase.
The second round is Charades where the clue giver can act out the phrase. No words or sounds are allowed!
The third round is Password where the clue giver can use one word to describe the phrase. Choose wisely!
The game begins with one team being chosen randomly to play the round first. One person on their team is assigned to be the clue giver while the rest of the team are guessers. Once the phrase is guessed correctly,the next player on their team becomes the clue giver. After 90 seconds, teams will switch places. The round ends when all phrases have been guessed.
The clock starts running once the first phrase is drawn during a team's turn and continues to run after the phrase is guessed correctly. Be ready to draw if you are next up!
