How to play

Two people get the same prompt. Everyone else picks a winner.

The game

1
Make a room
One person creates a game and reads out the four-letter code. Everyone else types it in. You need at least three players.
2
Answer your prompts
You get a couple of prompts on your phone. Somebody else has the same one — you’re writing against them, and neither of you knows who until afterwards.
3
Vote
The two answers go head to head and everyone else picks the better one. You can’t vote on your own matchup; you just have to watch it happen.
4
Win the room
Every vote is points. Take all the votes in a matchup and you get a bonus on top. Later rounds are worth more, so being behind early doesn’t mean much.

Pace: Timed gives every phase a countdown. Untimed just waits for everyone, so a game can be played in the gaps of a whole day.
Voting: One at a time reveals each matchup’s winner before the next opens — better theatre. All at once puts every matchup up together, which is the one to use if people are dipping in and out.
