Pick a category, like fruits or movies, and a letter, then take turns naming something in that category starting with the letter until someone repeats an answer or can't think of one in time.

The Essentials

Rules

  • Agree on a category (fruits, movies, countries, animals, jobs, anything with plenty of possible answers) and a starting letter.
  • Going around the group, each player names something in that category that starts with the chosen letter.
  • Repeating an answer already given, or failing to name one within a few seconds, knocks that player out of the round.
  • The last player still going wins the round; start a fresh round with a new category and letter.

Tips

  • Pick letters like S, C, or B for broad categories, and easier letters for categories with few possible answers.
  • Set a short time limit per turn (5-10 seconds) to keep the pace lively.
  • If someone challenges an answer, let the group vote on whether it counts.
  • Rotate who picks the category and letter each round so everyone gets a say.
