Fishbowl is a fun and hilarious party game for 4-20 players where two teams do and say anything and everything to guess as many clues as possible in 60 second turns. Fishbowl is fast paced, always new, and easy to play in small or large groups with 3 simple rules.
WHY PLAY FISHBOWL?
It’s the perfect game for any dinner party, birthday or office party. It's great as an icebreaker or to create tons of laughs and memories with your best friends. You can play Fishbowl over and over and it’s always funny and unexpected as the clues change every time you play.
