"The Hat" (phone) is passed between the players according to the sequence shown on the screen. The game continues until no words are left in the hat.

In the second round, players explain the words using only gestures and not saying anything out loud (as in the games "Crocodile" or "Mime"). In the explanations also can not use objects and indicate their color, shape, etc.

In the third round (1 option) ー player can use only one word to explain the word from the hat. (2 option) ー player needs to draw the word on a paper/whiteboard without using any gestures and not saying anything out loud. Player cannot draw letters.
