How to play

Fill the bowl

Each player writes a few words or names on their phone. They all drop into the virtual bowl as little red paper slips that unfold.

The rounds

The same slips come back each round with a new constraint: describe freely, then one word only, then mime, then sound effects. As the night goes on, memories from earlier rounds turn into laughing fits.

In teams

Teams take turns against the clock. The game resumes even if a phone is closed.

Frequently asked questions

What is La Boulette?

It is the fishbowl party game, also known as salad bowl, celebrity or the hat game: everyone writes names, they go in a bowl, and teams make each other guess them over three rounds (describe, one word, act it out).

How many players do you need?

At least 4, in two teams or more. The bigger the group, the funnier it gets.

Do we need paper and pens?

No. Everyone types their words on their phone, and the game keeps the bowl, the timer and the score.

Can I practise alone?

Yes, a practice mode with robots teaches the rules before the party.
