Watch the full game loop in action

1. Objective

The goal is to earn the most points by providing unique and valid answers for five categories starting with a specific randomly selected letter.

2. Core Gameplay

The Letter: Each round begins with a single letter (e.g., "A").

Categories: Players must fill in five categories: Name, Animal, Place, Fruit, and Thing.

I Call On! (The Stop Button): Once a player has filled at least 3 categories, they can trigger "I Call On!" to end the round for everyone immediately.

Pencils Down: When the game is stopped, all players' currently typed answers are automatically submitted.

3. Scoring System

Points are calculated after the Veto Phase based on the validity and uniqueness of your answers:

10 Points
Valid answer that no other player used in that category.
5 Points
Valid answer that was also used by at least one other player.
0 Points
Empty or invalid/vetoed answers.
Long Word Bonus

Show off your vocabulary! Earn +2 points for every extra letter in words longer than 5 letters.
(e.g., "Elephant" (8 letters) gets +6 bonus points)

Stopper Bonus: +5 points if the person who stopped the game has 5/5 valid answers.

Stopper Penalty: -5 points if the person who stopped the game has 3 or fewer valid answers.

Wrong Letter Penalty: -5 points for each non-empty answer that does not start with the correct letter.

4. The Veto Phase

Players act as the "Tribunal" to judge disputed answers:

  • Majority Rule: An answer is marked Invalid if more than 50% of the other players vote to veto it.
  • Self-Veto: You cannot vote to veto your own answers.
  • Automation: Empty answers and answers starting with the wrong letter are automatically marked as invalid.

5. Winning the Round

The Round Winner: The player who earned the most points in the current round.

The Privilege: The Round Winner gets to pick the next letter from the remaining unused alphabet.

6. Game Over

Rounds Mode

Points Mode
