HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDA video call and a list of familiar prompts
  1. 1Choose a category and a one-minute turn limit. The performer privately chooses a prompt or receives one by direct message.
  2. 2The performer acts inside the camera frame without speaking, mouthing words, spelling letters, or pointing to written text.
  3. 3Everyone else calls guesses. The first correct guess earns one point, and the performer earns one too; if time expires, reveal the prompt with no points.
  4. 4Rotate until everyone has performed twice. Highest score wins, with a final all-play prompt to break a tie.
