The rules
Take turns entering one word or short answer fitting the category, or pass. The group decides whether it fits before submission: the app checks exact repeats, not dictionary meaning. Everyone gets one turn. Accepted unique answers earn one point; passing has no forfeit.
What you need and how to start
Choose Categories and select the player count for a shared-device game; names are optional. Alternatively, create a room and invite friends to join on their own phones.
In a room, choose the game first. Everyone, including the host, taps I’m ready. The host then taps Start to begin.
Open the web app in your device’s browser. Playing requires JavaScript. Multiplayer rooms require an internet connection on every device. Use the game’s ? button whenever you want to check the rules.
