Category Countdown

Pizza toppings. Red foods. Things you dip in ketchup. Name five before the timer runs out, then pass the phone. Sounds easy until the clock is ticking.

How to play

  1. Add the players (names are optional) and pick 3 or 5 rounds.
  2. On your turn, tap Start. A category appears and you have 30 seconds to name five things in it, out loud.
  3. Tap Got one for each answer. The table is the judge, and Undo takes back one that doesn't count.
  4. One point per answer, plus a bonus point for all five. After the last round, the highest score wins.

House rules to try

  • No repeats: an answer someone already said this game doesn't count.
  • Younger players can pass the phone to a grown-up to tap for them, so they can focus on talking.
  • Go easy on little kids: let anything that fits count, even if it's a stretch.

Nothing is sent anywhere. This browser remembers player names, your settings, and which categories you've already played.
