No board to set up, no pieces to sort, no rules to explain. Everyone gets it instantly.
2 players or 20 — the game scales naturally.
Everyone already has a phone. That's all you need.
Safe categories and a built-in profanity filter. Fun for all ages.
Short rounds with a timer mean nobody gets bored waiting.
Debating answers is half the fun. Great for groups that don't all know each other.
It's a category-based word game. Each round gives you a letter and categories to fill in. Think Scattergories, but online and multiplayer.
Each round takes 2-5 minutes depending on your settings. A full game of 3-5 rounds runs about 15-25 minutes.
