The rules

4 steps.

  1. Go round the circle counting up from one.
  2. On a multiple of three say fizz. On a multiple of five say buzz.
  3. Fifteen is both: fizz buzz, in that order.
  4. Say the wrong thing, or hesitate, and you are out.

The bit everyone gets wrong

It is multiples, not digits. Thirteen has a three in it and is still just thirteen.

What the phone does

The phone shows the next number and what it should become. It cannot hear you, so the group calls the mistakes.

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