THE ROOM
IS THE GAME.

Some games have you staring at a screen. This one has you staring at your friends as they try to explain that one word without saying it.

Team Battle starts the party. Split into teams, take turns guessing and pass the phone. Learn it in a minute. Argue about it all night.

Phone on your forehead.

Turn the phone sideways so the room sees the word. Your teammates give clues. You guess. They panic. Kila mtu ako ndani ndani ndani.

Tilt the phone down for Correct, up for Pass.

Tilt. Score. Repeat.

Down = Correct. Up = Pass. Bring it back to neutral for the next card. When your turn ends, pass the phone.

What if a pack feels too difficult?
