A look inside the box for the party game Trapwords. In this team-based, word game, players are trying to get their teammates to guess words without mentioning any of the other teams’ trap words.
This party game has a fantasy dungeon crawl theme and includes both fantasy and mundane word sets.

What do you get with the word game Trapwords?
Your task seems simple. You are given a word, and you need your teammates to guess it. But the other team has already seen your word, and they have made a list of “trapwords” that you can’t say. You don’t know what’s on their list. And there’s a time limit. Go! Trapwords is a fun and fast-paced party game for two teams, who simultaneously prepare their lists of trapwords. The simple task of giving clues for your word is made fiendishly difficult by not knowing which words you can’t say. If you succeed, you advance to higher levels with more trapwords and additional challenges. Includes a set of regular words as well as a set with a fantasy theme.
I’m a big fan of word games and really looking forward to getting Trapwords to the table. Find other great word games in my 18 of the Best Word-Based Games article here on the blog.
