How to play:

In 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 any direct references. The Hat (phone) is passed between players in the order shown on screen. The round continues until all words in the hat have been guessed.

In the second round, players explain words using only gestures — no speaking allowed (similar to Charades or pantomime games). Gestures cannot refer to an object's color, shape, or other defining features.

In the third round, you have two options: (1) explain each word using only one keyword, or (2) draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without speaking or gesturing. Writing letters is not allowed.

The team with the most correctly guessed words across all rounds wins the game.
