In this blog post, we’ll explain how to play Foodle and give some tips on how to win (or at least not lose). If you love food and word games, then this game is the perfect game for you! Each round is different as you challenge yourself to think of more and more creative ways to describe different foods. Keep reading to learn how to play and get your friends hungry for words.

The Basics of The Game

Let’s start with the basics so we can get to the “fun” stuff. Foodle is a word-guessing game that is played in two rounds. In round 1, the person who is describing the dish is the “questioner” and the person who is trying to guess is the “answerer”. In round 2, roles are reversed. Each round is different but the main goal of the game is to get as many points as possible. The questioner and answerer each get a number of points based on whether they win or lose.

- Questioner: The person who is describing the dish. They have a number of points that they can use to make the description easier, harder, or impossible.

- Answerer: The person who is trying to guess the dish. They get points if they guess correctly within a number of tries.

How to Play Foodle

As we said, each round is different, but there are some basics that apply to both.

• Make sure you have a timer and that everyone is ready before you start.
• The questioner goes first, so start by describing the dish as you would if you were interrogating a suspect.
• Next, the answerer guesses. - If the answerer gets it right, the questioner gets their points. If not, the answerer gets their points if they made it to the required number of tries.
• Round 2 is the same, except the roles, are reversed.

Round 1: Guess the Food

Round 1 is all about the person who is describing the dish and guessing the food. The questioner can make the description easier, harder, or impossible based on the number of points they have at their disposal.

• Easy: Questioners can use one point to make the description easier by simply telling the answerer what the dish is. The answerer still gets the points if they correctly guess the dish.
• Hard: Questioners can use one point to make the description harder by describing the dish in a way that would be challenging to guess. The answerer can still get the points if they correctly guess the dish. 
• Impossible: Questioners can use one point to make the description impossible. This is where the game can get really interesting.

Round 2: Describe the Food

Round 2 is all about the person who was the answerer describing the dish in a way that the person who was the questioner can guess it. The roles are reversed, so the questioner gets a number of points based on whether the answerer can guess the food within a certain number of tries.

• Easy: The questioner can use one point to make the description easier by simply telling the person who was the answerer what the dish is. The answerer still gets the points if they correctly guess the dish.
• Hard: Questioners can use one point to make the description harder by describing the dish in a way that would be challenging to guess. The answerer can still get the points if they correctly guess the dish.
• Impossible: Questioners can make the description impossible. The answerer still gets points if they correctly guess the dish.

Guessing Game

We love words and we’re sure you do, too. That’s why this part of the game is our very favorite! - The person who is describing the dish starts the guessing game by describing the food in a way that the person trying to guess it would never know what it is.

- After the person who is describing the dish is done, the person who is trying to guess can either use the words from the description to guess the food or come up with completely different food.

- If the person who is trying to guess uses the words from the description, the person who is describing the dish can either accept the word or challenge the guesser to find the next word in the description.

Tips for Playing Foodle

So now that you know the basics of Foodle, here are some tips to help you win the game and get some real points. - Put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Think about how they will be trying to guess. What words would they use and what would they challenge? - If you are the person describing the food, start with the words “I am” or “This is”. This will make the description easier. If you are the person trying to guess, start by trying to describe the food without using any of the words the person who is describing it used. Good luck! Now get ready for some food-word fun!
