Pass the Word
A cooperative Chinese whispers party game for creative teams. Each player receives a category card and a number identifying a mystery word. Players write clues on sheets, then pass them around the table. Each player reads the latest clue, adds a new clue within the chosen category, and passes the sheet again, covering the previous word. After three rounds, players use the final clues to guess the original mystery words and work together to score as many points as possible.
