About the Game

Mad Gab is a fast-paced party game where teams race to decode hidden phrases disguised as strings of unrelated words. It’s not about what you read—it’s about what you hear.

On each turn, one team reads aloud a puzzling phrase like “Ace Lip Puff The Tongue”—which, when spoken quickly, sounds like “A Slip of the Tongue.” Teammates have 30 seconds to guess up to three phrases. If they fail, the opposing team can steal the point.

With a timer ticking and a constant stream of hilarious misheard moments, Mad Gab is perfect for parties and game nights where laughter and fast thinking rule. The game’s tagline says it all: "It’s not what you SAY... it’s what you HEAR!"
