How to Play

  • The host runs the board. Everyone watches the one screen.
  • Host picks a team to start.
  • That team calls out a category and point value; the host taps it.
  • The question appears for the whole room.
  • First team to answer out loud gets the shot.
  • Wrong? The question opens up—any team that hasn’t tried can steal it, but a wrong steal costs them too.
  • Correct = points earned. Incorrect = the same number of points lost.
  • Winning team picks the next tile.
  • Round 2: fresh categories, harder questions, double points.
  • Watch for Bonus Tiles.
  • Final Round: each team wagers up to their score.

Host Tips

  • Use physical buzzers, bells, raised hands, or your best "I saw that hand first" judgment.
  • Choose one spokesperson per team so the host gets one clear answer.
  • For quieter groups, have every team write answers on a whiteboard and reveal them at the same time.
  • Set the answer clock to suit your group, hit Pause mid-question whenever the room needs it, or turn the clock off entirely.
  • Running long? Use “End round early” under the board to jump straight to the next round.
