Features:

Overview: 
Player holding device has to describe the phrase on the screen so that their team guesses it. Keep passing around until the buzzer goes off. Get caught with the device when the buzzer sounds, opposing team gets a point. 

Full Directions: 
Split up into 2 even teams. Gather in a circle so that no player is sitting next to their teammate (alternate). Choose a player to start the game. The player then has to give clues about the word so that someone on their team shouts it. You cannot say the word or give clues that rhyme with your phrase. When your team guesses the word/phrase, pass the device to the next player (of the opposing team). Swipe left to generate the next word. Keep playing until the time runs out. The team holding the device when the buzzer sounds loses (opposing team gets a point). Repeat until a team has the necessary points to win.
