How to play

  1. Split into teams of 2–5 people. Each team needs a pen and paper, or the printed sheet.
  2. Show the puzzles on the TV or a laptop, or share your screen on a video call. Give about a minute for each.
  3. The teams write down the title or the word. 1 point for each right answer; open the answers after the round.
  4. Three rounds of ten: films, songs, traditions. A tie? Make up one more emoji puzzle on the spot – the first team to get it wins.

Play together live

One screen shows the questions – a TV, a projector or a screen shared on a video call – and everyone answers on their own phone, joining with a short code or the QR code. A right answer scores, a fast one scores more, and after each question the screen shows who leads. No accounts, nothing to install.
