Private Joke ® Spanglish (12+) – Spanish Word Game

🇪🇸 Ever scratched your head at Spanish expressions like “El gusanillo” or “La sobremesa,” baffled by odd sayings, or just completely lost in translation? Private Joke ® Spanglish turns that confusion into pure comedy gold. It’s a hilarious, collaborative word game where the quirks of Spanish shine and creativity takes centre stage.

Invent outrageously clever new words for situations only the Spanish could come up with… or guess if the word is already real. From cheeky slang to puzzling phrases, every card is a prompt that’ll have you laughing until you’re gasping.

How it works:
PRINT & PLAY.

• Shuffle the deck (definition side up) and deal 5 letter tiles each.
• The youngest player is the “Boss PJ,” leading the round with a hilarious prompt.
• Everyone votes: Is this a real Spanish word or a Private Joke ®? Guess right, and you score bonus tiles.
• If it’s real, work together to spell it out with your tiles. Earn even more rewards if you nail it!
• If it’s a Private Joke®, it’s every player for themselves: invent the funniest, wittiest new word, pitch it like a pro, and win that card!
• The player with the most cards and tiles by the end wins bragging rights as the ultimate Spanglish Champion.

Why you’ll love it:

• Laugh out loud: Every prompt plays with aspects unique to Spanish life, waiting forever for lunch, craving “un antojo” at midnight, or mastering the art of small talk in La sobremesa.
• Bring people together: It’s collaborative, competitive, and endlessly engaging - perfect for friends, family, or even the office.
• Learn without trying: You’ll pick up real Spanish words (and maybe invent a few that stick) without even noticing.
• Fast, fun, addictive: 20–40 minutes of quick rounds, perfect for game nights, language learners, or anyone who loves words with personality.

If you love Spanish humour, wordplay, and cheeky creativity, Private Joke ® Spanglish is your new go-to game. Ready to speak like a local, laugh until you cry, and become a proper Spanglish nerd? Let’s play.

TOP TIP: Print the playing cards double-sided & letter tiles single-sided.
