How to Play

Pick a game to see the rules

🌍
Countries & Cities
2–12 players · PL/EN/DE/FR/ES

A classic word game. A letter is drawn — everyone simultaneously fills in categories with words starting with that letter. First to finish calls STOP!

How a Round Works
  • Host draws a letter — each letter appears only once per game
  • Everyone writes — fills in categories (Country, City, Animal…)
  • STOP! — first to finish stops the round. Others have a few more seconds
  • Scoring — answers are compared and scored
Scoring
SituationPoints
Unique answer (only you wrote it)10 pts
Duplicate answer (someone else wrote the same)5 pts
No answer / blank0 pts
Challenges

You can challenge any answer by clicking ⚠ Challenge. All players vote — majority decides. A rejected answer scores 0 points.

💡 Write unusual, niche answers — a unique answer scores 10 pts instead of 5!

🎭
Forbidden Words
4–12 players · 2 teams · PL/EN

A team party game. Describe words to your team without using the forbidden expressions. The opposing team watches and enforces the rules.

Roles
  • Describer — sees the word and the forbidden list. Describes using any other words, gestures, or context
  • Guessers — rest of the team tries to guess the word
  • Referee — a player from the opposing team who catches forbidden words
Scoring
  • +1 for the team — for each correctly guessed word
  • +1 for the opposing team — when the referee catches a forbidden word

💡 Describe by purpose or context — instead of naming the thing, say what it's used for or when you'd encounter it.

Hangman
2–10 players · rotating · PL/EN/DE

Classic word guessing with rotation. Each player takes turns picking a secret word while everyone else guesses letter by letter. 7 wrong guesses and the hangman is complete.

How a Round Works
  • Picker types a word — only they see it. An optional hint/category can be added
  • Guessers tap letters — correct letters reveal themselves in the word
  • 7 wrong = game over — Picker wins the round
  • Guess the full word — at any time. Wrong answer = instant loss!
Scoring
  • +1 for the Guesser — whoever guesses the word first
  • +1 for the Picker — if nobody guesses

💡 As a Guesser: start with common letters (E, T, A, O, I, N, S). As a Picker: choose words with rare letters.

Dots & Boxes
2–4 players · strategy

A classic strategy game. Draw lines between dots and claim boxes — the player with the most boxes wins.

Rules
  • Take turns drawing a line — one horizontal or vertical line between adjacent dots
  • Complete a box = point + extra turn — you can score multiple times in a row!
  • Game ends — when all boxes are claimed. Most boxes wins
Grid Sizes
  • 3×3 — 9 boxes, quick game (~5 min)
  • 4×4 — 16 boxes, standard game (~10 min)
  • 5×5 / 6×6 — longer strategic games (15–25 min)

💡 Avoid drawing the third line on an uncomplete box — you hand your opponent an easy point!

🤥
2 Truths 1 Lie
3–20 players · icebreaker · PL/EN

A classic icebreaker. Each player takes turns writing 2 truths and 1 lie about themselves — everyone votes which one is the lie.

How a Round Works
  • Active player writes 3 statements — 2 true, 1 lie. They choose which is which
  • Everyone votes — taps the statement they think is the lie
  • Reveal — the active player reveals the lie. Everyone sees who guessed right
Scoring
  • +1 for Guessers — for correctly identifying the lie
  • +1 for the Active player — for each person they fooled

💡 The best lies sound plausible — pick something others might genuinely believe about you.

🎨
Sketch & Guess
3–10 players · no points · any device

A no-points party game where words pass through a chain of drawings and guesses — and get hilariously distorted along the way.

How It Works

Each player writes a secret word. It gets passed to the next player who draws it. The next player guesses what the drawing shows — and so on until the chain is complete. Then everyone sees the full evolution of their original word.

Step by Step
  • Write a word — any word: animal, object, famous person (30 seconds)
  • Draw it — you receive someone else's word and draw it (80 seconds)
  • Guess it — you receive a drawing and write what you think it shows (30 seconds)
  • Reveal — everyone sees the full chain and laughs

💡 You don't need to be a good artist — bad drawings make the game funnier. The worse the drawing, the better the reveal.

No Scoring

There is no winner. The reward is watching your "Eiffel Tower" turn into a "wizard" after 4 rounds. Works best with 5–8 players.

Corporate Bingo
2–50 players · meetings · any device

Corporate Bingo is the game for anyone who has sat through one too many meetings full of buzzwords. Play quietly in the background — nobody needs to know.

How It Works
  • Host creates a room — share the code with your team
  • Everyone gets a unique 5×5 card — filled with corporate buzzwords
  • During the meeting — tap a phrase when you hear it
  • Complete a line — horizontal, vertical or diagonal — tap BINGO!

💡 Works brilliantly on Zoom or Teams. Keep it open in a tab while your camera is on — your colleagues will never know.

Settings
  • 2–50 players — scales to any team size
  • Private or public room
  • No signup needed
🕵️
Who Am I?
2–16 players · voice or chat · PL/EN/DE/SV

Each player gets a secret character assigned to them — but they can't see who it is. Take turns asking yes/no questions to figure out your identity. Guess correctly to score a point!

How It Works
  • Create a room — choose categories, difficulty, and game mode (voice or chat)
  • Everyone gets a character — visible to everyone except the player themselves
  • Ask yes/no questions — "Am I a real person?", "Am I from a movie?"
  • Guess or surrender — correct guess = 1 point, surrender = 0
Game Modes
  • Voice mode — ask questions out loud via Zoom, Teams, or in person
  • Chat mode — type questions in the built-in chat, other players vote yes/no/maybe

💡 Start with broad questions — "Am I alive?", "Am I fictional?" — to narrow down quickly.

🃏
Find Pairs
2–6 players · memory game · 6 themes

The classic card-matching memory game. Flip two cards — if they match, you score a pair and go again. If not, they flip back and it's the next player's turn.

How It Works
  • Host picks theme and board size — animals, food, flags, and more
  • Take turns flipping two cards — remember where they are!
  • Match a pair — score a point and flip again
  • Game ends — when all pairs are found. Most pairs wins!
Game Length
  • Quick — 1 board
  • Standard — 2 boards, scores accumulate
  • Marathon — 3 boards, scores accumulate

💡 Pay attention to cards other players flip — you can use that information on your turn!

Charades
4–40 players · 2 teams · PL/EN/DE/SV

The classic party game — act out a word using only gestures while your team tries to guess it. No talking, no pointing at objects, no mouthing words!

How It Works
  • Players split into 2 teams — the host can move players between teams
  • One player acts — they see the word on their screen
  • Their team guesses — call out answers before the timer runs out
  • Teams alternate — each team takes turns acting and guessing
Scoring
  • Correct guess — team scores a point
  • Time runs out — no points, next team's turn
  • Skip — actor can skip a difficult word (limited skips)
Word Categories

Choose from multiple categories: animals, actions, movies, sports, food, and more. Words are available in multiple difficulty levels — family-friendly, adults, or mixed mode with 700+ words.

💡 Use big, exaggerated gestures. Act out the concept, not the individual letters!

Who Are These Games For?

Below are suggested age guidelines. These are guidelines, not hard rules — every child is different. An avid reader may be ready earlier. What matters more than age is whether they understand the rules and whether the game is genuinely fun for them.

👶 Ages 7+

Requires reading, writing and basic knowledge of geography and nature. Great for classroom use, family nights and team ice breakers.

🎭
Forbidden Words

Requires a strong vocabulary and the ability to describe concepts indirectly. Best for older children and adults — excellent for team building and group events.

🤥
2 Truths 1 Lie

Needs social and emotional maturity — the ability to craft a believable lie and read other people. The classic ice breaker game for teens and adults at parties and team events.

🔵
Dots & Boxes
👶 Ages 5+

Purely visual and motor — no reading or writing needed. Accessible to the youngest players. A true family game that works across all generations at once.

🪢
Hangman
👶 Ages 8+

Lost Connection? How to Rejoin

If you accidentally close the tab, press back, or lose your connection mid-game — you can get back in. The game holds your spot for at least 15 seconds, and the room stays active for an hour after the game ends.

✅ How to rejoin in 3 steps:
  1. Go back to the game page (e.g. panstwamiastagra.com/dots)
  2. Enter exactly the same name you used in the game
  3. Enter the same room code and click Join

Note: The name must match exactly (case doesn't matter). The room code is visible to other players on the lobby or game screen. If the game has already reached the final screen, rejoining won't bring back an active round.
