About this item
Highlights
- Baffling Bowl is a hilarious guessing game with 3 rounds of loud and loopy fun!
- You begin the game by each player picking and choosing words from the booklets that they'd want brewing in the baffling bowl!
- Round 1 kicks off the showdown – teams race against time to describe dynamic words without slipping up on the “forbidden” words! Get through as many words as you can before the time runs out! Once this round is over, all the words go back in the bowl.
- Round 2 gets a whole lot funnier as players act out the words without using their dominant hand. Enjoy the chaos unfold as teams rely on earlier guesses to crack the words through all the awkward acting! Once this round is over, all the words go back in the bowl once again!
- In Round 3 must read the words backward, just once! It’s a test of reverse thinking as teams decipher these cryptic backward riddles for those crucial final points!
- Baffling Bowl includes 600 Cards, 1 Bowl, 1 Scoring Book, and an Instruction Manual.

I loved how this game made you actually think on how to describe words you usually don't use. We loved it and could not stop playing. I highly recommend getting this game. This was gifted to me for my honest opinion
Fun for all ages!

I recently hosted a party courtesy of Tryazon & Gouda Games called Baffling Bowl. This game is played in 3 rounds where you work in teams to get them to try and guess the word on the card. Round one is speaking & having them guess it without saying the danger words, round two is acting out the same words from round one but with motions & only using your non-dominant hand, and round three is saying it backwards once. Laughter and fun were had by all in attendance! #thebafflingbowl

The Baffling Bowl is basically a game of charades and gibberish. Round 1 has teams racing against each other to describe as many words as they can without using the “forbidden” terms before time runs out. Round 2 gets a lot funnier when teams act out the words using their non-dominant hand and rely on earlier guesses to crack the words through all of the awkward acting. Round 3 is a test of reverse thinking as you read the words backward, only once. Then the teams have to decipher the backwards riddles for the final points. You will need 4 or more players and it’s for ages 10+. You get 8 booklets (600 words), score book, 1 bowl, and the instruction manual. Overall it is a lot of fun and pretty fast paced. Definitely a great party game.

We loved playing this game with family & friends! We laughed as we tried to fulfill the silly requests. We adapted the game for our younger kids who can’t read, but generally this is a fun game for all ages!

I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. The game has 3 rounds. First, you give clues and your team guesses as many words as they can in 45 seconds. Second, act out the word without speaking or using your dominant hand. Third is when you have to say words backwards and your team has to guess. I loved this game and would highly recommend it.

This is a fun game to play with a group. It's easy enough to get all the rules from the beginning. With the few rounds it's a good amount of time. And it comes with lots and lots of cards for future game playing
Good time with lots of laughs

The baffling bowl game is lots of laughs! We had so much fun playing this game. I'm not sure which round was more fun describing, acting or saying the word backwards. Great game for all your gathering.

#theBafflingBowl #gamenight #tryazon We played a new to us game called The Baffling Bowl. I haven’t laughed so hard in awhile. The game has 3 rounds. In the first round you give clues to a word and your team guesses as many words as they can in 45 seconds. The second round is acting out the word without speaking or using your dominate hand. My favorite round was when you had to say words backward and your team had to guess the word. Saying words backward is way harder than it seems and everyone was laughing so hard we were crying. I loved this game and would highly recommend it.
Gameplay 100%, great for younger kids too!

The gameplay itself was terrific! Round 1 was guessing a word without using obvious clue words. Round 2 was similar to charades but with a fun added twist. Round 3 was saying a word backwards which isn't for the feint of heart - it's harder than you'd think! Overall, everyone had a great time with this game, and we were easily able to adjust the game so that younger kids could play too, simply by playing in groups or only doing certain types of rounds. The gameplay was well thought out and very fun! The only reason we took a star away was because we felt it cut some cost corners that could have made it top notch. The game cards were not completely opaque, so we had to be careful when unfolding them so sneaky players didn't read through the paper. Also, it states in the directions to use a 45 second timer on your own device such as a cell phone, which I don't see as practical since people are constantly getting notifications and/or using their phones for photos/calls/anything. The inclusion of a simple sand timer and thicker paper would have given this game 5 stars.
Great Game!

This game was a fun twist on a classic game! While I don't love the paper cards; it provides lots of variability in the game! Acting with a hand behind your back, who knew this would be such a challenge! Understanding a word someone has just said backward, an even bigger challenge! So MANY laughs!
Fun kid or family game!

The Baffling Bowl Game which was a multi round word guessing game including a taboo type round, charades with one hand and then saying the words backwards. It was quite tricky to get through the bowl of words! But lots of laughs and they had a great time playing. It’s good for kids age 8+ because they do need to read and think quickly!
A Fun Game for Everyone!

I like that The Baffling Bowl has 3 different rounds making the game more challenging and hilarious as the game goes on. It's simple enough: you take turns giving clues to team members and they have to guess them. There are word clues, charades and reading the words backwards which is the funniest. I also like that you can lose points. It's easy enough for everyone to play. My only complain was that the paper used for the words is see through and a bit flimsy.
Good family game!

This game is so fun for the whole family. It makes you think outside the box as you try to describe the words and then use your non dominant hand, but the hardest round for me was trying to think of the words backwards and figure them out. We all loved this!
