Trapwords

Say the wrong word, and it's game over. Can your team dodge the traps?

From the creators of Codenames comes Trapwords, a fast-paced, fantasy-themed word game filled with cunning, laughter, and sabotage. Two teams of adventurers race through a dungeon, each trying to guess words their teammates are describing. Sounds easy—until you realize the other team has secretly set “trapwords” you’re not allowed to say. And the worst part? You have no idea what those words are. It’s like trying to cross a minefield... blindfolded.

Your group must work together to avoid curses, outwit your opponents, and beat the final boss at the end of the dungeon. The further your team progresses, the more dangerous the traps become. Will your wits be sharp enough to survive?

Gameplay Overview

In Trapwords, both teams simultaneously prepare “trapwords” for the other. One player on your team gives verbal clues to help the rest guess a target word—without saying any of the hidden trapwords. With each successful round, the number of traps increases, and the stakes grow higher. The team that makes it furthest through the dungeon and defeats the final boss wins the game. Bluff, anticipate, and outplay your rivals.
