What it feels like
One word each, to help the guesser find the answer. Simple, right? Except if two of you write the same word, both vanish. Tonight, you need to be helpful... and different.
How to play
- Take a private turn each: for each round, write one word to help that round's guesser find the secret word.
- Clues that match someone else's cancel out — so don't write the obvious one.
- The guesser sees only the clues that survived, and gets one guess, out loud.
- Then the word comes out, with who wrote what.
Scoring: A right guess scores 2 for the guesser and 1 for everyone whose clue survived.
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.
