The game unfolds over three rounds:

In the first round, each participant attempts to explain as many words as possible to their partner until their turn's time runs out. You cannot use words with the same root or any similar words. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed among players following the sequence displayed on the screen. The game continues until all words in the hat have been used.

In the second round, players must explain the words using only gestures without speaking (similar to games like "Crocodile" or "Mime"). You cannot use objects or indicate their color, shape, etc., in your explanations.

The third round offers two options: (1) you can use only one word to explain the word from the hat, or (2) you must draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without using gestures or speaking. Drawing letters is not allowed.

The team that successfully explains the most words across all rounds wins the game.
