How the game works:

In the first round, each player tries to explain as many words as possible to their teammate before the timer runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or any direct hints. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed between players according to the on-screen sequence. Play continues until all words are gone from the hat.

In the second round, players explain the words using only gestures and complete silence—just like in "Charades" or "Mime." You cannot point to objects or indicate their color, shape, etc.

In the third round, choose your challenge: (Option 1) Explain each word using only a single word. (Option 2) Draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without speaking or using gestures. Drawing letters or numbers is not allowed.

The team that explains the most words across all rounds wins the game.
