How It Works

1. The admin creates categories (e.g., “Books”, “Movies”, “Animals”) and uploads a 64x64px icon.
2. Each category contains words/phrases and optionally a short comment (e.g., “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” – Author: Larsson Stieg).
3. Players split into two teams and choose team names.
4. A random word or phrase is shown to one team while the others guess.
5. Each team has a set time (default: 90 seconds) to act out and guess the word.
6. Teams alternate turns; correct guesses earn points.
7. The team with the most points (or the fastest response time in a tie) wins!
