How to play

How a round works

Play this mode in Luminary

On the count of three, both point their finger at a person at the same time. If they agree, they score a point and keep going. Their score is the pile of penalties they hand out to everyone else at the end. If they disagree, the run is over.

  1. Two players sit back to back

    Luminary picks the duo or you agree on it. That way nobody can see who the other is about to point at.

  2. Read the question

    A question appears, for example: which of you two texts back faster?

  3. Point at the same time

    On three, each of you points a finger at the person you mean, without touching them. If you both point at the same person, you agree.

  4. Collect points, then hand them out

    Every match earns a point and the next question. Your accumulated score is the pile of penalties the duo then hands out to the others. Mess up the very first question and you both take a penalty yourselves.
