A competitive conversation game of cravings, strategy, and connection.

Flirty, funny, and sometimes a little too real, Taste Buds is designed to spark unforgettable stories, spicy confessions, and magnetic moments between friends, strangers, or something in-between. Think We’re Not Really Strangers meets Monopoly Deal and Fluster.

This game was created as a way to help young adults build real connection, not just small talk. Whether you’re making new friends, deepening relationships, or lighting a spark, Taste Buds gets you there faster.
