What it feels like
One letter. Six categories. A ticking clock. And only the answers nobody else thought of will score. Dodge the obvious, trust your strangest ideas... and write fast.
How to play
- Take a private turn each: one letter, six categories. Write an answer to each that starts with the letter.
- The answers come up one category at a time.
- Anything the room won't accept, tap to strike it.
- Only answers nobody else wrote score — so dodge the obvious ones.
Scoring: 1 point for every answer that starts with the letter and that nobody else wrote. Stuck? Type a dash — a blank scores nothing.
You'll get prompts like
- “A fruit or vegetable”
- “An animal”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
