How the game works:
In the first round, each player must explain as many words as possible to their teammate before time runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or any related terms. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed between players in the sequence shown on screen. The round continues until all words are guessed.
In the second round, players explain words using only gestures, without speaking—similar to games like Charades or Mime. You also cannot point to objects or indicate their color, shape, etc.
In the third round (Option 1) — the player may use only one single word to explain the word from the hat. (Option 2) — the player must draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without using gestures or speaking. Drawing letters is not allowed.
The team with the most correctly guessed words across all rounds wins.
