One player secretly knows which picture everyone is aiming at, writes a clue that sounds helpful, and then tries to blend into the pile. Everyone else plays the card they think matches. Give too much away and you score nothing; give too little and the group catches you standing out. A Thrilly party card game.
What is actually in the box
- A hundred and twenty-five picture cards, a board, a mini whiteboard and a dry-erase marker — the most components we put in a box
- The clue is written rather than spoken, so nobody gives it away with their voice
- Rounds run about fifteen minutes, which makes it the easy second game of an evening
- Ages thirteen and up: it is a reading-the-room game rather than a rude one
How a round goes
- The Photobomber secretly picks the target image and writes one clue on the whiteboard.
- Everybody else plays a picture from their hand that fits the clue.
- The cards are shuffled together and the table votes on which one was the Photobomber’s.
- Score for staying hidden, or for catching them. Pass the whiteboard and go again.
Who it suits, and who it does not
Buy it for
Groups of four or more who enjoy bluffing, families with teenagers, and anybody who has worn out a picture-matching game and wants the same shape with a hiding mechanic on top.
Skip it if
Three players, where the bluffer has nowhere to hide, and tables that want to start playing in ten seconds — this one has a scoring track and genuinely takes two minutes to teach.
The honest bit
The comparisons in our reviews are to picture-association games people already own, and the distinction worth knowing is that the clue here is authored by a player who is actively hiding, not by a neutral storyteller. That one change turns a gentle creative game into a bluffing one. The scoring track is the part reviewers argue about; it rewards consistency over big rounds, which suits some tables and frustrates others.

Unbelievably fun!!
This was an absolute BLAST! We played for hours. It's exactly like Dixit, but updated with meme pictures, which is brilliant! Highly recommend for your next game night!

Good concept, could use a few tweaks
I have a good number of party games and such - probably more than I should, but I used to love hosting games nights so. . .here I am. Despite being similar to a number of games in the vein of pictorial humour, I decided to give this one a try. The positives: I mean, it is a good new twist on the what do you meme/CAH/hashtag it style of game in that people write their own clues.

Well Made, Easy & Fun to Play, Great Value
We experienced an absolute riot playing Photobomb, a party game that injects a fresh and humorous perspective into the familiar concept of matching. The core gameplay revolves around players attempting to pair uproarious meme photos with a descriptive caption that one player crafts on a dry-erase board.

Cute game for family game night
It has taken me a minute to learn how to play this. :) Basically it's a card game wherein there are photos on the cards and one "whiteboard" card for one player each round to write down a caption for the image card they got. The other players will see this caption/hint that they wrote down but they won't know which image card the "Photobomber" wrote the caption for.

fun to play, helps build creativity
This game is fun to play, for the price is worth the value. The deck of cards with pictures for guessing are of very good quality. The printed pictures are also of very good quality, and these pictures were taken in a way that it could mean a lot of things.

A hilarious party game of trying to match meme photos with descriptions - lots of laughs
We had a real blast with Photobomb, a party game that gives you a chance to try to match funny meme photos with a description that one player writes on a dry erase board. Like some modern games, the goal is to not give a clue that is too obvious because you don’t want everybody to guess which meme photo you are referencing, but you also don’t want everyone to be fooled.

This Thrilly party card game comes with a board, which needs explaining
Photobomb is a picture card game, and it is the one box in the line that ships with a board and a wipe-clean surface in it. That does not make it a board game in the usual sense — there are no figures to move, no accessories to collect, nothing collectible, no mobile tool. The board is a scoring strip. Players look at a picture, write the caption they think the table wants, and the educated guess about which caption belongs to whom is where the action is. Hands go up, the room argues, a round ends in about fifteen minutes. Nobody slaps anything and nobody takes a sip.
Because of the board the box is heavier than the price suggests, which matters if you were planning to carry it. Players, minutes, the age on the lid and the latest price are based on the partner shop listing from our last check; the shop page result wins when a popular edition gets restocked or repriced. We have personally played it with family and with the shelf's rowdier company, and the information above reflects both. Delivery tracking is on your own order page, and the captions are shared evidence.
