How to play

1. Form 2-8 teams and bring paper and pens. Choose three or five rounds. All teams play each round at the same time.
2. Reveal letter & start shows a letter and starts a 60-second timer. Write one English answer for each category: animal, country, food, profession and object. Every answer must begin with the displayed letter.
3. For example, with S: Animal - Snake; Country - Spain; Food - Soup; Profession - Surgeon; Object - Spoon. Write one answer per category, five answers in total.
4. If only your team wrote Snake for Animal, it earns 1 point. If two teams wrote Snake for Animal, both get 0 for that answer. Blank or incorrect answers earn 0. The maximum is 5 points per team per round.
5. Stop writing when time runs out. Read answers aloud, one category at a time. The host ticks correct answers that no other team used in that category. Each tick scores one point.
6. Duplicated, blank or invalid answers score zero. Treat singular and plural forms as the same answer, and ignore minor spelling errors. Untick a box to correct a score before the next round. The highest total wins.
