Why it fits
What you need for your first game.
Choose your round
Team Round gives each team a turn to score. Hand Off keeps the phone moving after correct guesses, with pressure building until time runs out.
Make it fit your group
Choose built-in categories such as Animals or History, then adjust the round duration and team sizes before you start.

How the word guessing works.
Imagine the word is “penguin.” Your clue might be “a bird that cannot fly, wears a tuxedo, and lives somewhere cold.” Your teammates call out their guesses. When they get it, mark the word correct and move on. This is an example clue to explain the rules.
- 1. Set up: Choose Team Round or Hand Off, pick categories, and set your round duration.
- 2. Give clues: Let the clue giver see the screen. Describe the word without saying it.
- 3. Guess: Teammates answer aloud. Mark correct guesses in the app.
- 4. Follow your mode: Keep scoring during your turn in Team Round, or pass the phone after a correct guess in Hand Off.
