How the game works:
In the first round, each player tries to explain as many words as possible to their teammate before time runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or any related terms. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed among players according to the on-screen order. The round continues until all words are gone from the hat.
In the second round, players explain words using only gestures—no speaking allowed (similar to "Charades" or "Mime"). You also cannot use objects or refer to color, shape, etc.
In the third round (Option 1)—the explainer may only use one single word. (Option 2)—players must draw the word on paper or a whiteboard, without speaking or gesturing. Drawing letters is not allowed.
The team that guesses the most words overall wins.
