25 Words or Less

Think fast, choose your words carefully, and race against the clock in 25 Words or Less – the award-winning party game where every word counts!

Based on the hit TV game show, 25 Words or Less challenges two teams to get their teammates to guess five mystery words using a limited number of clue words. The twist? Before each round, clue-givers bid on how few words they think they can use. The lower the bid, the greater the challenge!

Once the bidding ends, the winning clue-giver has just 30 seconds to help their team guess all five words using only the number of words they bid—or fewer. If they don't succeed, the opposing team scores the point instead. The first team to reach ten points wins!

Easy to learn and packed with laughs, 25 Words or Less is perfect for family game nights, parties and gatherings with friends.
