How to play

Stay in the round by answering quickly without repeating an earlier response.

Before you start

Choose categories, timer length and whether a timeout removes a life or simply awards no point.

Round flow

  1. The room reveals a category.
  2. One player gives an answer.
  3. Submit and pass the turn.
  4. The timer eventually explodes on one player.

Scoring

Valid unique answers earn points. Elimination mode also removes one life from the player holding the bomb.

Host tip

Use one shared device for an energetic in-person circle, or personal devices for remote teams.

ONE ROOM, MANY GAMES

Keep everyone connected.

After this game, the host can choose another activity while players and the session scoreboard remain in the same room.
