Forbidden Word Game Online

Create a room and share the link. Everyone else’s words appear on your screen — only yours stays hidden.

The host creates a room, then shares the room code or link.

No install, no sign-up, free. For 2–12 players.

No link? You can also join with the 6-character room code.

Three steps to start

  1. 1. Create a room
  2. 2. Send the link to your friends
  3. 3. When everyone’s in, the host starts

For voice, use whatever you already have going — Discord, FaceTime, Zoom. This site has no call feature of its own. It also works in person with one phone each.

Play in person — One phone deals the words for the whole group. No paper, no pens.

Online version FAQ

Will I be matched with strangers?
No. Only people with your room link or code can join. Codes are 6 characters (about a billion combinations), so nobody stumbles in by guessing.
Who rules on whether someone said their word?
Anyone who catches it hits the “Said it!” button, and the host rules out or safe. Same as playing in person — the final call belongs to the table.
What happens if my connection drops?
You’re reconnected automatically, and reopening the link on the same device puts you back in your seat. Disconnected players don’t hold up the game for everyone else.
What if the host leaves?
Hosting passes automatically to the earliest-joined connected player. The game keeps going.
How long does a room last?
Rooms close automatically 3 hours after the last activity. If the same link stops working later, just create a new room.

This site is the quick, no-friction version. The game’s one weakness — staying silent never loses — is answered by the forbidden word game inside the free app Dokopa (a separate app).
