How to Play

Players are divided into teams. Each team should have at least two players: a describer and guessers. At the start of a round, one player is chosen to see the words. Their task is to explain them to their team without saying the word directly, using related words, or giving obvious hints. You can explain words using associations, examples, or by describing functions or situations. There is a time limit for each word — a timer from 30 to 120 seconds. The more words the team guesses in a round, the more points they earn. If the word is guessed, the team gets a point and moves on to the next word. If the rules are broken or the word isn’t guessed, it is skipped. The teams take turns playing. Before the game starts, a goal is selected — from 30 to 60 points. The first team to score the required number of points wins. There are several categories of words available in the game: "Basic category", "Sports", "Nature" and others.
