Taboo is a word, guessing, and party game published by Parker Brothers in 1989 (subsequently purchased by Hasbro).

The game is similar to Catch Phrase, also from Hasbro, in which a player tries to get their teammates to guess words using verbal clues.

From 2003, a TV game show adaptation ran on TNN, hosted by Chris Wylde.

Players take turns as the "giver", who attempts to prompt their teammates to guess as many keywords as possible in the allotted time.

From 2013 to 2023 Taboo had a totally redesigned look, especially with the lettering, and the front of the box had a plain purple or black colour, however, the familiar face stayed the same.
