HOW TO PLAY Everyone gets the same letter and the same 10 categories, like: • Something in a kitchen • A musical instrument • Something you wear • A breakfast food You have 90 seconds to think of an answer for each category that starts with that letter. Then pass the phone to the next player. When everyone has played, judge the answers together. Every answer counts unless the group rules it out with a tap. Matching answers cancel each other out, so the most original thinker wins! GAME MODES PASS & PLAY 1 to 8 players on one iPhone or iPad. Take your turns, pass it around, then judge together and crown a champion. ANSWER RACE A solo race against the clock: guess the crowd's favorite answers for each category. Right answers add time, popular picks score more, and letters reveal themselves when you're stuck. How long can you last? PRACTICE A quick 90-second solo round. When time's up, be your own judge, see your score, and chase your personal best.
