Rules & app
Salad Bowl: the three-round party game, straight from your phone
Short answer: Salad Bowl is the party game where everyone's words go into a bowl and teams guess the same set across three rounds: describe, act out, one word. Grabbit replaces the bowl, the slips and the timer with one app.
Salad Bowl rules in short
Each player writes 3 to 5 words on slips and tosses them in a bowl. Teams take turns: one player gives clues, teammates guess as many slips as possible before time runs out. All slips return to the bowl after each round, and each round restricts the clues further, from free description to acting to a single word. Most points over three rounds wins. You may know the exact same game as Fishbowl, Celebrities or The Hat Game.
