Six reasons Hues and Cues has become one of the most requested party games at every gathering, family night, and office break room.
480 Colors, Zero Repeats
The Hues and Cues board is a 480-square color grid — every hue subtly different from the next. No two rounds ever feel the same.
Learn It in 60 Seconds
Hues and Cues rules are gloriously simple: give a one-word clue, then a two-word clue. Everyone guesses. That’s it.
3 to 10 Players
Hues and Cues scales from small groups to full parties. Two-player variants and larger group modes are built in.
All Ages, All Together
Kids see colors just as well as adults do — often better. Hues and Cues levels the playing field across generations.
Deceptively Deep
The trick is picking a clue that’s specific enough to help — but not so specific that everyone lands on the same square.
The Best Arguments
“That’s not lavender, that’s periwinkle!” Hues and Cues sparks the loudest, funniest debates you’ll have all year.
How the Community Plays
From dorm rooms to holiday tables to office break rooms — Hues and Cues fits wherever people want to argue about color.
