How to play
- Each player writes three names on their phone: people the whole room will know, real or made up.
- Round 1: describe the name without saying it. Round 2: one word only. Round 3: act it out, no words.
- Teams take timed turns; the same names come back every round, so they get funnier.
- Most names guessed over the three rounds wins.
What the app does for you
The app shuffles the deck, runs a turn timer for each team that you can pause or extend, and keeps the score. No card repeats until the whole deck has been used, and the card on screen when time runs out goes back to the bottom. The host can undo the last score.
Played with everyone's phone: the host screen shows a QR code and a 4-letter code, and phones join in the browser. No app or account.
