By Round Three, your team has heard this name before. That is where the chaos starts.
THE CELEBRITY GUESSING GAME FOR PARTIES
Same celebrities.
Increasingly ridiculous clues.
Create your own Salad for free with private celebrity submissions, or choose a curated pack. Play in two to four teams, then reuse the exact same names for Describe It, One Word and Act It.
The clue changes.
The names don’t.
Celebrity Salad gets funnier because everybody is building the same shared memory. A clue that barely works in the first round can become enough to trigger an instant answer by the third.
Describe It
Say anything you like except the celebrity’s name. Fast clues, strange associations and the first in-jokes of the night.
One Word
The same celebrities return, but now you get one clue word. Context and memory start doing most of the work.
Act It
No words. Just commit. Your team has already seen every name twice, so terrible acting can somehow make perfect sense.
Pass the phone.
Keep the party moving.
The app handles the admin without turning the night into a screen-based game. Everyone stays in the room, one device moves between players, and the game keeps time and score.
- 1Add your players
Four or more works best. Use real names, nicknames or whatever your group actually calls each other.
- 2Build the Salad in private
Pass the iPhone or iPad around. Each player secretly adds celebrity names before handing it on.
- 3Build two to four teams
Start with two balanced teams, then rename, rebalance or add teams before the first turn starts.
- 4Play the names three times
Describe them, reduce every clue to one word, then finish by acting them out. The app carries the score between rounds.

What is Celebrity Salad?
Celebrity Salad is a face-to-face celebrity guessing game where players create a shared Salad of names and teams guess the same set across Describe It, One Word and Act It.
How many people can play?
Celebrity Salad supports 4–12 players and 2–4 teams. Two balanced teams are the default, but you can add teams before play begins.
Is Celebrity Salad the same as Fishbowl or Salad Bowl?
They are closely related names for the same family of guessing games. Celebrity Salad focuses the format on famous people and runs the game on one shared Apple device.
Does everyone need their own phone?
No. One iPhone or iPad runs the game and is passed between players when names are submitted and when each turn begins.
Is the custom game free?
