How the game works:

In the first round, each player tries to explain as many words as possible to their teammates before the timer runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or any related terms. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed among players following the sequence shown on screen. The round continues until all words are guessed.

In the second round, players explain the words using only gestures, without speaking aloud—similar to games like Charades or Mime. You may not use objects or indicate color, shape, or size.

In the third round, there are two options: 1) Players explain each word using only a single clue word. 2) Players must draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without speaking or using gestures. Drawing letters is not allowed.

The team with the most correctly guessed words across all rounds wins the game.
