ClueJutsu is the anime party game where obvious clues are forbidden. Learn in a minute. Play all night.
Step 1 — Choose your difficulty
Before each turn, your team chooses which pile to draw from:
- Easy = 1 shuriken
- Medium = 2 shuriken
- Hard = 3 shuriken
Play it safe, or gamble on a harder card for more points.
Step 2 — Describe the answer
The clue-giver draws a card and describes the answer using words, gestures, and creativity—just without saying any of the five Forbidden Words. You cannot spell the answer, point to a direct visual clue, mouth the answer, or do an exact signature gesture.
Step 3 — Beat the timer
Your team has 60 seconds to shout guesses and land the answer before time runs out.
Step 4 — Reach 20 shuriken
Keep every card you win—won cards are your score. The first team to reach 20 shuriken wins.
Say a Forbidden Word?
The opposing team can yell FORBIDDEN! and take the card. Every clue becomes a risk.
Example Card
Answer: Goku
Category: Character
Difficulty: Easy — 1 shuriken
Forbidden Words: Saiyan / Kamehameha / Dragon Ball / Super / Vegeta
You know exactly who it is. Now describe him without any of that.
That is ClueJutsu.
