About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for some serious laughs and a memory test with Time's Up! Party Edition! This game is pure group fun, perfect for livening up any party. The idea is simple: you and your team have the mission to guess as many names of famous people, movies, books, and even video games as possible from the cards. The catch? You only have 30 seconds per round to give clues!

The game unfolds over three exciting rounds, and with each one, the rules for giving clues become more challenging. In the first round, you can use almost any type of clue – imitation, description, sounds, whatever your creativity dictates! In the second round, things tighten up: only ONE word is allowed per clue. Think carefully about the words you choose! And to wrap it up in style (or yellow, since the box is yellow!), the third round completely prohibits the use of words. It's pure charades and acting! With each round, the cards drawn in the previous round return to play, meaning your memory will be tested to the max. Who remembers that brilliant clue that worked before? Time's Up! Party Edition is a celebration of pop culture knowledge and communication skills, a true test of synergy among friends. It's the kind of game that creates unforgettable stories and moments, ideal for those who enjoy party games that go beyond the obvious and challenge everyone in a lighthearted and very fun way.
