How to play:
In Round One, each player explains as many words as possible to their teammate before time runs out. You cannot use words of the same root or any obvious synonyms. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed between players following the on-screen sequence. The round ends once all words are guessed.
In Round Two, players explain the same words using only gestures and no talking—much like "Charades" or "Mime." You may not reference objects or indicate their color, shape, or size.
In Round Three, choose between two styles: (1) Explain each word using only a single clue word, or (2) Draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without speaking or gesturing. Drawing letters or numbers is forbidden.
The team with the most correctly guessed words across all rounds wins.
