Description

Talk About is a fast-paced party game based on the Canadian game show of the same name. In each round, teams try to guess as many of the 10 hidden keywords associated with a mystery topic as possible—all in just 20 seconds of rapid-fire talking. One team starts by talking about the subject, saying anything they can think of to hit those hidden clue words. Every word they match earns a point—but the twist comes next: the opposing team sees how many words weren t guessed, and then gets that many clues to help them guess an entirely new subject. If they guess it, they steal the round s points; if not, the talking team scores them. Teams then switch roles, and the gameplay continues with the same blend of strategy, deduction, and high-energy chatter. It s a word-association rollercoaster that rewards fast thinking, teamwork, and clever guesswork. Though based on its own television game show, Talk About owes a clear debt to other wordplay classics. Outburst! was the direct inspiration for the show itself, with its rapid-fire clue lists, while Talk About adds a competitive deduction twist. Compared to its peers: if Password is a chaotic brainstorming session and Outburst! is about precision with a single perfect clue, Talk About finds a lively middle ground—where clue-dumping meets tactical guessing and every word counts.
