Looking to take your party games up a notch? If Cards Against Humanity feels overplayed and truth-or-dare is too high school, it’s time to introduce your friends to Dirty Fishbowl — a game that’s equal parts hilarious, awkward, and slightly inappropriate (in the best way possible).
A regular Fishbowl game is fun, sure, but throw in some naughty words and suggestive phrases, and suddenly, it’s absolute chaos. Watching your friends struggle to act out or describe these ridiculous prompts will have everyone in tears—either from laughing or sheer embarrassment. So, if you’re ready to spice up your game night, grab a bowl, toss in some scandalous words, and let the madness begin!
How to Play Fishbowl
The rules of Fishbowl are simple, but adding a naughty twist makes it even funnier. Here’s how to play:
1. Split into teams.
Divide your group into two teams. The bigger the group, the more chaotic (and entertaining) the game will be. If you can’t think of creative team names, just hit 🎲 Random Names for an instant (and probably inappropriate) suggestion.
2. Write down dirty words or phrases.
Each player writes down three spicy, suggestive, or downright hilarious words or phrases on slips of paper. If you’re stuck, don’t worry—just tap Suggest for a scandalous idea to get you started.
3. Play through four ridiculous rounds.
You’ll use the same words in each round, but the way you communicate them changes:
- Round 1: Taboo 🗣️ – Describe the word without saying it. Example: If the word is Handcuffs, you might say, “Used in both law enforcement and… other activities.”
- Round 2: Charades 🤐 – Act it out. This is where things get awkward fast.
- Round 3: One-Word Clue 💬 – Say just one word to hint at the answer. Example: “Restrained.”
- Round 4: No Words, Only Sounds 🎶 – You can only use noises. Have fun with that.
4. Keep score and determine the real MVPs.
At the end of all four rounds, the team with the most correct guesses wins. But let’s be honest—no one really cares about the score when the real prize is witnessing your friends absolutely lose it over these ridiculous prompts.
Now, let’s get to the best part—the 69+ naughty, dirty, and downright hilarious Fishbowl words that’ll turn your game night into an unforgettable mess.
