## Description

StopotS is the online version of the classic Categories game. Play in real time with friends or players from around the world. When a round starts, a random letter is chosen and you race to fill in all categories before time runs out; faster and more creative answers earn higher scores.

Key features include private or public rooms to play with friends, multiple languages (English, Portuguese, Spanish, and more), customizable avatars and themes, and a rankings system to show who’s the fastest thinker.

## Review summary

Users overall find the game fun and easy to use, especially for group play. Recurrent problems include limited language options (no English), difficulty joining games due to matchmaking issues, and a lack of onboarding or clear instructions.
