How the game unfolds:

In the first round, each participant aims to explain as many words as possible to their teammate before time runs out. You can't use words with the same root or any similar terms. "The Hat" (your phone) is passed among players in the order shown on the screen, and the round continues until all words are guessed.

In the second round, players switch to non-verbal communication, using only gestures to convey the words, similar to games like "Crocodile" or "Mime". You're not allowed to use objects or indicate their color, shape, etc., during your explanations.

The third round offers two variations: (1) you can use only one word to explain the word from "The Hat", or (2) you must draw the word on paper or a whiteboard without using gestures or speaking. Drawing letters is prohibited.

The team that successfully explains the most words across all rounds emerges as the winner.
