About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever played a game that makes you laugh until it hurts while simultaneously making your brain work overtime? Earbus is exactly that! Imagine a 'ebus' for your ears. The concept is brilliant: you need to help your team guess famous phrases using only ONE specific word shown on the card. But here's the twist: you can't just say the phrase. You have to use your voice as an instrument! You can sing, whisper, change your pitch, speed up the rhythm, or even repeat the word in a funny way to provide the clue. The real challenge is that you only have 60 seconds to guess as many phrases as possible before the timer runs out. While one teammate acts as the clue-giver, the rest of the team shouts guesses, trying to decipher what's being said. It's organized chaos and super dynamic! Each correct guess earns a point, and the goal is to reach 20 points first. This game is incredibly versatile, working great with groups of 4 to 12 players, making it perfect for parties or friend gatherings. If you love communication games that test your creativity and improvisation skills, get your ears ready, because Earbus is set to be the star of your next party!
