  • A volunteer clue-giver will be sent the keyword and all of the taboo words that they can’t say through the chat
  • The clue-giver will have one minute to give clues for the rest of the group to guess the key word
    • Clue-givers may not use any taboo words, including abbreviations and any part of the taboo word.
    • Clue-givers may not use sound effects or use gestures to indicate the clue word.
  • Participants guess the keyword by putting it in the chat, the first one to get it right wins
  • The winner will become the next clue giver
  • If nobody guesses in the one minute, a volunteer will be chosen to be the next clue-giver
