How the game unfolds:

In Round 1, each player describes as many words as possible to their teammate before time runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or any related terms. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed between players following the on-screen order. The round continues until the hat is empty.

In Round 2, players must explain the words using only gestures—no speaking allowed (similar to "Charades" or "Mime"). You may not reference objects or indicate their color, shape, etc.

In Round 3 (Option 1), the player may use only one word to explain the hat's word. In Option 2, players must draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without speaking or gesturing. Drawing letters is forbidden.

The team that correctly guesses the most words across all rounds wins.
