Act-IT!?

Goal: Silently act out the secret word or phrase the AI gives you. If someone guesses it before time runs out, both you and the correct guesser score a point.

How to Play

  1. Choose Difficulty
    Before each round, the group chooses a difficulty:
    • Easy (simple objects, animals, everyday actions)
    • Medium (events, characters, multi-step actions)
    • Hard (phrases, idioms, long concepts)
      Or say “Random” for a surprise.
  2. AI Gives the Secret Prompt
    The performer receives a private word or phrase such as:
    • “Penguin”
    • “Juggling”
    • “Building a sandcastle”
    • “Lost in a maze”
    • “Mermaid swimming”
  3. Act It Out — Silently
    The performer must act the prompt with no speaking or noises:
    • No words, humming, or sound effects
    • No lip-syncing
    • No writing letters or sign language
    • Physical objects may be used as props
      The performer can move, mime, exaggerate — whatever helps communicate the idea.
  4. Guessing Phase
    Everyone except the performer may guess aloud freely.
    First exact match wins.
  5. Scoring
    When someone guesses the word correctly:
    • The performer earns 1 point
    • The correct guesser earns 1 point
      The round ends immediately.
  6. Timer Required
    Each round uses a 1-minute timer.
    If time runs out with no correct guess:
    • No one scores
    • The AI reveals the answer
      Move to the next performer.
  7. Next Round
    Rotate clockwise so each player becomes the performer in turn.

End of Game

The game ends when every player has acted twice.
(Example: 5 players → 10 total rounds.)

The player with the most points wins.
