How the game works:
In the first round, each player tries to explain as many words to their teammate as possible before their turn ends. You cannot use words with the same root or any related terms. "The Hat" (the phone) is passed between players following the on-screen sequence. The round continues until all words are guessed.
In the second round, players explain words using gestures only—no speaking aloud (similar to "Charades"). Objects, colors, shapes, etc., cannot be pointed to or mimed.
In the third round (Option 1)—players explain each word using only a single hint word. (Option 2)—players must draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without speaking or using gestures. Letters cannot be drawn.
The team that explains the most words overall wins the game.
