I Played Phrasium and Now I Can’t Stop Guessing Phrase Origins!

You know that feeling when you hear a phrase and suddenly wonder, where on earth did that come from? Well, that’s me every single time I play Phrasium—and I’m completely hooked!

This game is a total brain-teaser, packed with nearly 300 well-known phrases that make you question everything you thought you knew about the English language. One minute, you’re convinced you know why we pay through the nose, and the next, you’re second-guessing whether raining cats and dogs actually has anything to do with animals at all (spoiler: it’s not what you think).

What’s the Deal with Phrasium?

At its core, Phrasium is a simple but seriously addictive game. Each phrase comes with three possible origins—but only one is the real deal. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The explanations are so convincing that even the most confident wordsmiths will be left scratching their heads.

But wait—there’s more! Just when you think you’re on a roll, the Challenge Cards throw a spanner in the works, adding an extra layer of chaos and laughter. One card might force you to act out a phrase charades-style (hilarious), while another could completely flip the rules of the game. And let’s not forget the 5 Bonus Game Modes, which take the fun to the next level.

Why I Love It (and Why You Will Too!)

• It’s ridiculously fun – You’ll be laughing, debating, and shouting “No way!” the whole time.
• It’s sneaky-educational – You think you’re just playing a game, but suddenly, you’re full of random phrase knowledge to show off at the pub.
• It’s easy to learn – Literally two minutes to pick up. No faffing around with complicated rules.
• It’s quick but replayable – Each round lasts about 20 minutes, but you’ll want to play again (and again… and again).
