About the Game

Q: What is a Red Herring?

A: The new party game that twists traditional "word definition" games on their sides!

Can you detect the real definition among the fakes? If your fish lands on a green or red buoy, choose from a list of definitions, or write your own definitions and try to fool your friends! Ever wonder where specific expressions come from? Land on a yellow buoy and you'll have to guess which origin is real and which ones are made up!

If you love party games, try Red Herring. If this sounds a little fishy, invite some friends over and try it anyway... they might just take the bait!
