Which one suits you?
Say It Different
Two teams, 60 seconds, one word after another – and the obvious words are off limits. A watcher from the other team sees the same card and hits “Forbidden!” the moment one slips out.
Pick Say It Different when there are four or more of you and it’s allowed to get loud.
Quiz Night
The question on the TV, four big answer buttons on your phone, 20 seconds on the clock. Fast correct answers score more, streaks earn a bonus – and the leaderboard after each question shows who’s catching up.
Pick Quiz Night when you want to test each other’s knowledge in about ten minutes.
