Triangulation is a thinky word party game where players give three clues to help their teammates guess a secret answer using word association. The twist is that opposing teams get to guess first using only two clues, adding a layer of deduction and strategy to the rivalry.

“As a thinky party game, this might not be for everyone. But if your group enjoys similar word and clue-giving games, this one is definitely worth a try. It has a heavier feel than Just One but offers a similar tension to Decrypto — while remaining very easy to learn. Recommended!”

“Triangulation is brisker and with less downtime than Codenames, not least because both teams are setting their clues at the same time.”

“While it is a fun and interesting activity to try to come up with the trio of clues, it falls a bit short in terms of being a game that we want to play around here.”
