The phone runs it

The rules

4 steps.

  1. The phone deals a letter and five categories.
  2. Everyone writes an answer for each, all at the same time.
  3. The first player finished shouts stop and the round ends for everybody.
  4. Read the answers out and score them together.

The bit everyone gets wrong

Two people with the same answer usually score less. Agree that rule before the first round, not during the third.

What the phone does

The phone deals the letter and the categories, runs the clock and keeps the scores you award.

It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
