Earbus: The Game

Earbus: Play It By Ear

Hear the puzzle. Solve the sound. Earbus is a party card game where how you say the word is the clue. Use whispers, repetition, pauses, accents, singing, and silly voices to help your team guess familiar phrases before the 60-second timer runs out.

Can you make THOUGHTS sound DEEP or HOSPITALITY sound SOUTHERN? Try splitting “banana” as you say it: “Ban… ana!” Your team’s answer? Banana split.

How to play

1. Team up and pick a color. Split into two teams and choose a clue color for the round.
2. Say only the quoted word. Hint at the full phrase through your voice and delivery. No charades!
3. Guess, score, and keep going. Your team guesses the phrase, scores the card, and moves to the next clue before time runs out.
