Description

Speakeasy is a party game that's all about clever conversation and wordplay. The goal is simple: get the guesser to say a specific word, but there's a catch - you can't say the word itself. Instead, you and your teammates have to come up with sentences that will lead the guesser to figure it out, without actually using the mystery word. It sounds easy, but trust us, it's not as straightforward as it seems. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you can dive right into the game with your friends, and since it supports 4 to 99 players, the more the merrier. As you play, you'll take turns adding one word at a time to a sentence, trying to nudge the guesser towards the correct answer. For example, if the mystery word is "computer", one teammate might say "this", the next might say "machine", and so on, until the guesser finally says the word. With its unique blend of wordplay and teamwork, Speakeasy is a game that's sure to generate plenty of laughs and exciting moments. First published in 1996, this classic party game has been entertaining groups of all sizes for years, and its simplicity and social interaction make it a great addition to any game night.
