How it works

Create a room

Enter your name and create a room. The host sets categories, rounds and time in the lobby.

Invite friends

Send the link or the four-letter room code. Everyone plays on their own phone or computer.

Write and vote

Everyone fills in the categories, whoever is done calls stop. Then you vote on doubtful answers.

Rules and settings

Letter

Random, or like at the table: one player runs through the alphabet in their head, another says stop. Q, X and Y can be left out.

Categories

City, country, river, first name, job and animal are preset. Add brand, celebrity, movie/TV show and more, or your own.

Stop

After someone calls stop, the others get five more seconds to finish their word.

Voting

If the majority rejects an answer, it doesn't count. Answers with the wrong first letter are sorted out automatically.

Points

  • Only valid answer in the category: 20
  • Answer nobody else has: 10
  • Same answer as someone else: 5
  • Empty, wrong letter or rejected: 0
