Questions, answered.
FAQWhat is Tadado?+
Tadado is a taboo-style word guessing party game for iPhone, iPad and Android. One player describes the word on the card without saying the forbidden words below it, while their team races the 60-second clock to guess it. It's free to download for a limited time with the Classic deck included, expansion decks like Cinema, Travel, Sports, Midnight Fun (+18) and Heroes from $0.99, and an AI engine that builds unlimited custom decks from your own topics.
How do you play taboo?+
Split into two teams and pass one phone around. The describer sees the target word and five forbidden words; teammates shout guesses while the other team watches the forbidden list and hits the buzzer. Correct guesses score points; saying a forbidden word costs you. Each turn is 60 seconds. Tadado works offline, so you can play a taboo game anywhere.
Is Tadado a good Heads Up! or Nebuu alternative?+
Yes, and it plays differently. Heads Up! is a charades-style forehead game; Nebuu sells extra category packs one by one. Tadado is true forbidden-words taboo gameplay: a party word game free to download for a limited time, with expansion decks from $0.99 that you buy once and own forever, plus AI-generated custom decks neither of them offers. No subscription, no ads.
How much does Tadado cost?+
Tadado is free to download for a limited time and includes the Classic deck. Expansion decks are one-time purchases you keep forever: Cinema, Travel, Sports, Midnight Fun (+18) and Heroes are $0.99 each. AI Credits cost $2.99 for 10 credits. Each credit generates one complete custom deck, and credits never expire. There is no subscription and no ads ever.
Can AI really create my own taboo cards?+
Yes. Describe the deck in a full sentence, tap quick picks like Travel or Food, or drop in a single word. The smarter AI engine reads context and tone, then generates a complete playable deck with target words and forbidden words, saved forever in My AI Cards. AI Credits are $2.99 for 10 decks, about 30 cents per fully custom deck.
Is Tadado available on Android and Google Play?+
Yes. Tadado is live on Google Play for Android and on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Both versions are free to download for a limited time and include the Classic deck, so you can start a free taboo game the same night.
Does Tadado collect my data?+
No. Tadado's App Store privacy label is 'Data Not Collected': no accounts, no tracking, no ads. You buy it once and play.
