How to play

  1. Everyone gets a secret answer, like a film, a song or a saying.
  2. Build a clue from up to 12 emoji. Letters and numbers do not count. If your answer is too hard, you can swap it twice.
  3. Then every riddle is shown to the group. Type your guesses as fast as you can. Near misses are marked as "so close".
  4. After each riddle the answer is revealed together with everyone who solved it. The fastest solvers score the most.
