Stop the Bus

First one done shouts stop.

  • 2-12 players
  • Social

The categories game everyone knows, minus the pen and paper. A letter drops, five categories appear, and everyone types their words on their phone. The first to fill every box shouts STOP: the round ends for everyone. Then you correct out loud, as it should be: a word nobody else found scores 2, a shared word scores 1, and the table can contest anything that looks fishy. Two packs: the classic one (first name, city, animal...) and the party pack (excuse to leave early, thing you hide from your parents...).
