- Each player draws a slip containing a prompt—such as a movie title, book name, or action—that must be conveyed without speaking.
- A team member performs the prompt using only body movements and gestures; no talking or props allowed.
- The performer's teammates attempt to guess the correct answer within a predetermined time limit.
- Award points for each correct guess. The team with the highest score at the end wins.
