How to choose great Fishbowl words
Make them recognizable
Use people, characters and objects most of the group can identify. Inside jokes work only when everyone is included.
Mix easy and surprising
Combine obvious prompts with a few harder ones. The later rounds become funnier when players remember the strange first-round clues.
Keep every prompt playable
A good word can be described, acted and connected to a single-word clue. Replace anything too obscure before starting.
