🐠 How to play Fishbowl
- One person taps Start a new game. Everyone else joins with the 4-letter room code, from the app or from fishbowl.dpartygames.com in any phone browser. You need at least 4 players.
- Everyone secretly writes 3 words or phrases: people, places, movies, inside jokes.
- Two teams take timed turns. The clue giver swipes right for Got it!, which passes the next card to the next teammate on the same clock.
- Three rounds, same words: Describe It (say anything but the word), One Word (one word only), Charades (act it out, no sounds).
- After the game, play Who wrote what?: sort everyone's words into who you think wrote them, then compare scores.
Common questions
It says "No game at CODE"
Double-check the code with whoever started the game. Codes are 4 letters and numbers. Rooms also expire after about 6 hours without activity, so an old code won't work.
Someone had to leave in the middle of a game
Whoever started the room can tap Someone left? Manage players and remove them. Their words stay in the bowl so the round still works.
My phone went to sleep or I closed the app
Open the same room again (same app, or the same browser tab) and you'll land back in your seat. The game keeps your screen awake while you're in a room, and your phone chimes or buzzes when it's your turn (you can turn the sound off at the bottom of the game screen).
Teams aren't fair
Before starting, the host can tap Shuffle teams. After a game, Play again lets the host keep the same teams or shuffle them.
The host left and nobody can start
If the host disconnects, hosting passes automatically to the next player still in the room.
How do I delete my data?
You don't need to: there are no accounts, and every room is deleted automatically about 6 hours after it was last used. See the privacy policy for details.
