Host setup

Plan 10 to 30 secret words, 30 to 60 seconds per turn, two or more teams, and a visible score. For classrooms, use vocabulary terms. For events, use themes and inside jokes.

How to run it well

Keep clues to one word, rotate clue-givers, avoid spelling or word parts, and mix easy, medium, and challenge words so the room gets momentum.
