![]() If you think fast, this is enough time to fill out a column on your sheet. The Scattergories Timer is three minutes long. Overly specific categories make the game less fun. If you add lists, as many players do, remember that anything can be a category, but you need to choose options with a plethora of optional answers. Skipping answers won’t help you, and there’s no penalty for being wrong. Always start by answering every category you can.When playing with people with mobility issues, you may want to extend the timer to 5 minutes so they can write everything down.For example, if the category is Stars and the letter is C, then you could say “Chris Evans,” “Cher,” “Tim Curry,” or “Castor” (a star in the Gemini constellation). You can use ‘creative’ answers that push the limits of the category definition.For example, if the category was Comic Characters and the letter was P, you could list Peter Parker as either Peter or Parker, but not both. Both first and last names count, and you may use either to indicate a person.This helps prevent players from using the same word twice. You must reroll if you roll a letter already used in a previous round.For example, “The Hunger Games” begins with “H” for the purposes of this game. ![]() If your title begins with “A,” “An,” “The,” or a similar term, then start with the second word’s first letter. For example, if the category was fictional men and the letter you rolled was J, you would score one point for The Joker but four points if you put down John Jonah Jameson Junior.
