How to use it

  1. Choose a category the group knows. Objects or actions are useful when people do not share the same film or TV references.
  2. Let one actor read a word privately. Agree on a time limit, then act without speaking, spelling or pointing to the answer on the screen.
  3. Give the next actor a new word. Skip unfamiliar references and agree in advance whether skips use time or points.
