How to play Category Rush

One category, a running clock, and as many answers as you can type. Original answers are worth more.

  1. Pass the phone. Each player privately sees the category, and their own timer starts when they tap. Type answers until time runs out.

  2. When the clock hits zero, typing stops. Save and hide before passing on. Repeated answers from the same player count once.

  3. Results are grouped by player. A unique answer scores 2, an answer someone else also wrote scores 1.

  4. Doubtful answer? Tap it to put it to a group vote. Majority decides and a tie keeps it. After the last round, the highest total wins.

✳ 120 categories, from “things in a kitchen” to “excuses for being late”.
