Words Gone Wrong was born during the pandemic, which, honestly, wasn't great for most things, but turned out to be surprisingly good for hanging out with friends and playing board games. Silver linings.
That's when our founder, a NYC stand-up comedian, started noticing something. The moment someone was put on the spot to explain something, their brain would just... leave. Words came out wrong. Descriptions made no sense. Someone would say something completely unintentional and accidentally become the funniest person in the room. Nobody was trying to be funny. That was the whole point.
These were the moments everyone lost it. The "wait, WHAT did you just say?" moments. The ones where someone is crying laughing and someone else genuinely can't breathe and nobody even remembers whose turn it is anymore. And two days later you're still bringing it up.
That's Words Gone Wrong. Come for the game, stay because you literally cannot stop laughing long enough to leave.

It's a word game where players compete to create the most outrageous, offensive, and hilarious explanations using a deck of cards with words designed to make you laugh. Think Cards Against Humanity meets Mad Libs, but with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
This game is for those who enjoy dark humor, pushing boundaries, and having a good laugh at the expense of social norms.
Objective
Work in teams to guess as many words or phrases as possible over four rounds. Each round has a unique way of giving clues, and the team with the most points wins.
Setup
Explain the word or phrase without using it or any related sounds. (1 point each)
Round 2: Single-Word Clues
Use exactly one word to describe it. (2 points each)
Round 3: Charades
Act it out with no speaking or sounds. (3 points each)
Round 4: Ghost Charades
Same as charades, but the clue-giver is covered by a bedsheet, hands underneath. (3 points each)
Scoring & Violations

- You’ll need one large bedsheet for the final round.
