Guess the Flavor!

Number of players

From 2 players over 5 years old. There is no maximum limit.

What you need to play

A blindfold and some food or drinks from your kitchen.

Team Formation

It’s more fun in teams—just make sure they’re evenly matched!

Which team goes first?

In each round the teams will alternate turns guessing one player from each team at a time. The team with the youngest player goes first.

Order within the team

We also recommend establishing the order in which players from the same team will participate during a round.

Selection of food or beverages

Each team decides together what foods or drinks to challenge the other team with.

Who wins?

The team that proves to have the best sense of taste by guessing the most foods or drinks wins.

Blindfold

The player whose turn it is sits in a chair. The opposing team puts the blindfold on him and makes sure he sees nothing.

Find and offer food or beverage

A player from the other team quietly fetches the chosen food or drink and hands it to the blindfolded player—no peeking!

It’s time for the tasting

The blindfolded player tastes it… savors it… and…

What is it?

It’s time to show that you have a good sense of taste!

If you guess what you are eating or drinking, a point is added to your team’s score.

Next turns

Now it is the turn of a player from the other team. Teams will alternate until a round is completed.

Next rounds

The game continues if it has been agreed to play several rounds.

Rule 1 – No cheating!

The player whose turn it is may not use any sense other than the sense of taste.

Your teammates cannot do or say anything to help you. In case of doing so, the turn will be lost without scoring any points.

Rule 2 – Not everything is fair game

Only edible things!

Keep it tasty—gross stuff might kill the vibe! 🤢

Rule 3 – Repeat

You may agree that food or drink may be repeated, either by the same team or by the opposing team.

Game over

The game ends when the rounds agreed upon before the start of the game have been completed.

And the winner is…

The team that has guessed the most food or drinks is the winner.

About the time of the tasting

If it’s a drink, help guide the player’s hand to the glass and let them take a sip themselves.

If it is a food, depending on what it is, a spoon can be used and we can let the blindfolded player bring the spoon to his mouth. Decide what is best in each case!

Shall we cover the nose?

If the smell of the food or beverage is revealing, it will be convenient to hold your nose at the time of tasting. When the food or drink is already in the mouth, we release the nose! Don’t pinch too hard—we still need to breathe!

Headphones with music

It is possible for the blindfolded player to suspect what food the opposing team has been looking for: by the noise, the time it takes, the comments or the laughter of the players.

In that case you can put some headphones with music while he goes to look for the object and when he already has it in front of him you can take them off.

Number of rounds

For 2 players (1 vs. 1) = 6 rounds (12 tastings in total)

For 6 players (two teams of 3 players) = 3 rounds (18 tastings in total)

For large groups, a single round is sufficient, i.e. only one tasting per player.

Just an idea—you get to decide!

For very large groups

If there are many of you, the game can be quite long even if you play only one round. To speed it up, you can take turns in parallel: two players at a time, one per team.

Make it fun

Pick your foods wisely—surprise your friends, but don’t break Rule 2!
