How a round works
- Type one answerOne category, one short answer. Match the room.
- Answers pile upMatching answers stack on the TV. Biggest pile wins.
- Find your soulmateSecretly paired? Match them too for a bonus.
Each round has a 20 second write phase, then the TV flies the answers into piles, smallest first. The lone weirdo gets a spotlight. Secretly, every player is also paired with a hidden soulmate, and if you both type the same thing you both get a bonus.
Scoring
Land in a pile of k matching answers and score k x 50 points. The biggest pile earns +100 each. Synced soulmates earn +150 each. A lone answer scores nothing. Points only, no penalties. The last round counts double.
