How to play
- The device shows a category. The player holding it names five things in it before the 30-second timer ends.
- The room judges. Five in time scores a point; pass the device on.
The deck has 80 cards written for this game: 28 for kids, 30 for the whole family, 22 for adults and teens. Pick the youngest player's age and only suitable ones are used.
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.
The app runs the timer, the heats and the scoreboard. Hidden timers pick a random stop time that nobody can see, not even the host.
Played on one device: a phone, tablet or a laptop on the TV. Nothing to join, and it works offline once the site has loaded.
