Verboten! Explain as many words as you can in 60 seconds – but the three forbidden words on the card are off limits. Let one slip and the group shouts “Verboten!”
Zündschnur One category, the phone goes round: whoever holds it names a matching word and passes it on. The fuse burns invisibly – whoever it goes off on loses
Schwindler Everyone knows the secret word except one player: the impostor only sees the category and a hint. Each player adds one word in turn, then everyone votes
Stadt Land Blitz The letter and category are set and everyone has three seconds. Hesitate or repeat yourself and you are out – the German classic, only much faster
The game night mixes all four games, makes sure everyone gets an equal turn and keeps the overall score
It ends with a leaderboard and awards such as “Plappermaul” or “Meisterschwindler” – as an image you can send straight to your group chat
Ready in 20 seconds: type in the names and go. Next time, “play again with the same people” is one tap
Secrets are shown only while you hold your finger down – nobody reads along
Big type and clear colours, made for a phone that travels around the table
Over 4,300 words and categories: everyday life, mixed bag, film & TV, football, the 90s and 2000s, food & drink, travel, teen slang, animals & nature, celebrities and New Year’s Eve
