Plays like Scattergories®
What you need
A sheet of paper and a pencil for each player.
How it works
Roll the letter die, start the timer, and write one answer per category beginning with that letter — stop at the buzzer.
Scoring
Unique answers only: 1 point per answer no one else wrote, duplicates cancel. Or the folk 10 / 5 / 0 — 10 for a unique answer, 5 if shared, 0 if blank. The app keeps no score, so play as many rounds as you like.
Reference
Write one answer per category starting with the rolled letter. Duplicate answers cancel out — unique answers score 1 point each.
Ways to Play
- Quick List Recommended — Roll a letter, fill all 12 categories before the timer, then score the answers. The straight-ahead game.
- Stop — No timer — the first player to finish yells "Stop!" and everyone drops their pen. Rewards speed as much as wit.
- Grid Words — Write a short keyword across the top; each column's answers must start with that letter, down the category rows — a mini crossword grid.
- DIY — you make the rules — No scoring — the app just deals a list, rolls the die, and runs the timer. Play however the group likes.
