How to play:

In the first round, each player explains as many words as possible to their teammate before time runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or similar-sounding terms. The Hat (your phone) passes between players following the on-screen order. The round ends when all words have been guessed.

In the second round, players explain words using only gestures—no speaking allowed (similar to Charades). You may not use objects or indicate color, shape, or other attributes.

In the third round, Option 1 allows the player to explain each word using only one word. Option 2 requires them to draw the word on paper or a whiteboard—no speaking or gestures permitted. Letters cannot be drawn.

The team with the most correctly guessed words across all rounds wins.
