- 3 to 30 players, best with 4 to 8
- 10 to 20 minutes
- 400 words in English and German

How to play
- Each turn one player is the guesser. Everyone else sees the secret word.
- Every helper writes a single one-word clue, without talking to the others.
- Identical clues and clues that give the word away are removed automatically. The team can remove more before the guesser sees them.
- The guesser sees the clues that are left and has one guess. Then the next player guesses the next word.
Scoring
- The team plays together: every word guessed right counts for everyone.
- Passing uses up the card. A wrong guess also throws away the next card.
- At the end the team result shows how many words you got, from "Keep practising" to "Perfect score".
Settings
Number of secret words (5 to 20), clue time and guess time.
Tips
- Avoid the first clue that comes to mind: others will write it too.
- Clues that are too close cancel out, clues that are too far help nobody. Aim for something clear but unusual.
- Great for team events: nobody loses, and it shows how differently people think.
Questions and answers
Is this like Just One?
Yes, it plays like the popular cooperative board game, adapted for the browser and free.
What counts as the same clue?
Clues that are identical or plurals of each other, like "dog" and "dogs". Similar words such as "horse" and "house" both stay, but the team can remove clues by hand.
How many players do we need?
At least 3: one guesser and two helpers. It is best with 4 to 8.
