How to play:
During the first round, each player explains as many words as possible to their teammate before time runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or similar-sounding terms. Players pass "The Hat" (phone) according to the on-screen sequence. The round continues until all words have been guessed.
In round two, players communicate words solely through gestures without speaking (similar to Charades). Explanations cannot involve objects, colors, shapes, or other visual indicators.
For the third round, choose between: (1) explaining each word using only a single clue word, or (2) drawing the word without speaking or gesturing (no letters allowed).
The team with the most correctly guessed words across all rounds wins the game.
