How to run it
Teams, or the room against the clock. The app draws the words.
The turn
- You have a minute. Get your side to say the word on the card.
- Every word out of your mouth has one syllable. Not two. One.
- Say a long one and that card is dead — move on to the next.
Worth knowing
- The room polices it, and the room is merciless, which is most of the game.
- Gestures are fine. Drawing is fine. Spelling is not.
- Hard words are better than easy ones. A word you cannot say at all is the best word.
What you need
Nothing. The people in the room and a phone between you.
Add this to your event
Fayla builds the whole weekend around it — a scoreboard everybody can see, a shopping list that writes itself out of the things you picked, and one link for the group chat.
