How do you play Activity?

In teams, terms are explained, drawn or mimed. Your own team guesses against the clock and collects points or moves forward on the board.

Can you play Activity without the game?

Yes. Write your own terms on slips and just play for points. You don't need a board then, only a pen, paper and a timer.

From four people in two teams. In bigger groups you just form bigger or more teams.

A typical game of Activity takes 30 to 60 minutes. Group size and optional variations can make the round shorter or longer.

Rules

Your own team guesses against the clock. With the boxed game or simply your own terms, it's ready to go in minutes.

Form teams
At least two teams. You need terms, either from the game or written yourselves on slips.
Three ways to explain
A term is explained (describe it without the word), drawn or mimed. The task tells you which way.
The team guesses against the clock
If the team guesses the term within the time limit, you score points or move forward a space on the board.
Switch and finish
Then it's the next team's turn. Whoever reaches the finish first or has the most terms wins.
