How to play

Quick Guessing is a team describing game. Each card holds five words: people, places, movies, things and more. Your team has to guess as many as possible before the minute is up. The game keeps track of turns and scores for you.

  1. Add teams (2 to 8) and choose the app timer or your own hourglass.
  2. The first team’s describer takes the phone and flips the card.
  3. Describe the five words without saying them. Tap a word when your team gets it.
  4. When the minute is up, pass the phone to the next team. First to the agreed score wins.

Rules

  • You can’t say the word itself, or any part of it.
  • No translations (“in Dutch it’s called…”) and no spelling.
  • You may skip words and come back to them.
  • Arguing over a point? Adjust the score on the results screen.

Tips

  • Start with the words you find easiest.
  • Use a real hourglass if you’d rather not watch the screen.
  • People and Movies make for a quick, easy round.
