How to play
1Shuffle the names
Everyone’s name goes on a card. The cards are shuffled.
2Draw the pair
Two cards: the clue giver, then their partner. Everyone sees the pair.
3Pick a word
Choose easy, medium or hard. Or type your own, like an inside joke.
4Give clues out loud
Use things only you two know. No saying the word.
5Everyone guesses
Type as many guesses as you like. Wrong ones buzz.
6Got it!
The first right guess ends the round.
Scoring
- Partner gets it: +10 each for the pair.
- Anyone else gets it: they steal +10.
- Time runs out: nobody scores.
Quick example
Nour gets glasses and must make Maria guess it. Nour says: “What I lost at the beach last summer.” Maria types glasses: +10 each. Omar was one guess away.
Tips
- Use memories, not definitions.
- Your own word is the secret weapon: pick an inside joke.
- Settings: time to guess (60, 90 or 120 s) and Egyptian/Arabic words.
