Words Gone Wrong was born during the height of the pandemic, when our founder, a NYC-based stand-up comedian and entrepreneur, realized how something as playful as board games can become extremely stressful in the pursuit of winning, rarely leaving us feeling genuinely relaxed or connected.
So, we decided to flip the script. In a world that can sometimes feel too serious, we created a game to help people shrug off stress and reconnect with each other through humor, curiosity, and a healthy dash of irreverence. At its core, Words Gone Wrong combines comedic elements, surprising words, and the freedom to just be yourself, uncensored and unpredictable. We hope you'll love it as much as we do.

Meet The Team
- ULACHIEF WRONG OFFICERFounder of WGW, with tenure at Fortune 500 corporations and startup executive roles. Also a NYC-based stand-up comedian and author of How to Accomplish Absolutely Nothing. She’s on a mission to infuse board games with a much-needed dose of humor.
- ALEXALL THINGS GROWTHLeading a top-tier ad agency with expertise in strategy, design, and digital advertising, and is a founder of the Singular Advantage program, highlighted at New York Tech Week. Alex is also the sinister force behind WGW’s formidable launch.
- VICKANGEL INVESTOR FROM HELLAfter a decade of building (and cashing out of) a tech empire, Vick agreed to help WGW see the “light,” although dark is more appropriate.
He is our "Guardian Angel" and the reason we all sleep better. - MARIAGUARDIAN OF THE CORPORATE CARDA finance pro and an entrepreneur from the fashion and beauty world, helping us run things strategically. And our investors favorite employee.
If she even blinked once, Alex and Ula would already be in Vegas, trying their luck with the corporate card. - ANDYTHE ONLY NORMAL PERSON ON THIS TEAMOur most educated member, with a PhD in psychology, is currently in Sweden doing research on behavioral change. Yes, we wonder how she ended up with us, unless it's to use us as her lab mice.
She is in charge of making sure WGW doesn't cross the line, and we, of course, never listen.

It's a word game where players compete to create the most outrageous, offensive, and hilarious explanations using a deck of cards with words designed to make you laugh. Think Cards Against Humanity meets Mad Libs, but with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
This game is for those who enjoy dark humor, pushing boundaries, and having a good laugh at the expense of social norms.
Objective

Setup
Explain the word or phrase without using it or any related sounds. (1 point each)
Round 2: Single-Word Clues
Use exactly one word to describe it. (2 points each)
Round 3: Charades
Act it out with no speaking or sounds. (3 points each)
Round 4: Ghost Charades
Same as charades, but the clue-giver is covered by a bedsheet, hands underneath. (3 points each)
