How it works
- 1 Choose the rounds you want and name your teams. Mixing ages works best.
- 2 Read the question out loud and give teams half a minute to agree on an answer.
- 3 Tap “Reveal answer”, then give the point to the team that got it right.
- 4 After the last question the winner is announced. Losers do the dishes.
When to play it
- → While the turkey rests: one round takes about ten minutes.
- → Between dinner and dessert, when nobody wants to move yet.
- → At a Friendsgiving or a work potluck. The questions are clean and nobody gets put on the spot.
- → In a classroom the week before the break: the kids and history rounds fit grades 3 and up.
