Description
Every great meme starts with a picture and a perfect caption. Caption This turns that into a party game anyone can play: no phones, no apps, just pencils, imagination and a lot of laughing. It’s quick to learn, endlessly replayable and a natural fit for groups who love clever wordplay.
What’s included
- 40 picture prompt cards featuring funny, wholesome scenes (think a very surprised cat, a cake that didn’t go to plan, or a dog wearing sunglasses)
- Caption slips for players to write their answers
- Voting tokens and a scorepad
- A rules sheet with a classic mode, a team mode and a quick “lightning round” mode
- A “Caption Champion” certificate for the winner
How to play
Each round, one player acts as judge and flips a picture card. Everyone else writes a caption on a slip and passes it to the judge, who reads them aloud and picks a favorite. The winner keeps the picture card, and the role of judge moves to the next player. First to five cards wins. In team mode, groups brainstorm together, which is ideal for classrooms and shy guests. If your players get hooked, try designing your own memes in our free Meme Maker.
Printing tips
- Open the PDF in a dedicated PDF reader and print at 100% / “Actual size” (turn off “Fit to page”).
- Print picture cards on cardstock (65–80 lb / 176–216 gsm) so they’re easy to shuffle and hold; caption slips are best on regular paper so you can print fresh ones every game.
- All cards look great in black-and-white too, if you want to save colored ink.
- Do a quick test print on plain paper first, then let the ink dry for a few minutes before cutting.
Who it’s for
Caption This works for 3 to 12 players (or more in teams) and is suited to ages 8 and up, with younger kids playing alongside a grown-up. It’s a hit at birthday parties, family reunions, sleepovers, youth groups, classrooms and team-building events. Every image and rule is family-friendly, and the voting system rewards creativity rather than meanness.
