How to Make Your Own Heads Up Deck
The funniest rounds come from words only your group understands: nicknames, trips, office jokes. A custom deck takes ten minutes to write. Here is how to make a good one.
5 steps
- Choose a theme: a friend group, a family trip, a team, a show.
- Write 30 to 50 words or short phrases, 1 to 4 words each.
- Mix easy words (everyone gets them) with a few hard ones.
- Cut anything that needs a long explanation.
- Try one round and remove words that never get guessed.
Theme ideas
- Our friend group: nicknames and legendary moments.
- Office: meetings, inside jokes, coffee machine.
- Family: recipes, trips, grandparents' sayings.
- Wedding or birthday: the couple's story.
- School or class: teachers and school events.
