Can I use this for a Christmas pictionary-style game?

Yes. Choose Drawing for sketching without letters. All 24 seasonal prompts are tagged for acting and drawing. The deck uses Christmas actions and scenes, rather than movie or song titles.

Is there an easy Christmas deck for a family game?

Choose Easy for eight concrete prompts such as Hanging a stocking and Building a snowman. Medium and Hard each add eight more involved scenes. A host can use Pass if a prompt is unfamiliar to a player.

Can I print a Christmas word list?

Reveal the prompts you want with Next card, then use Copy round. Paste the numbered list into a document and print it. This page does not lay out a sheet of printable cards.

Does this need an app or account?

Press Deal for the first card.

Press Space for the next card without reaching for the mouse. The timer is whatever you type in seconds, up to 600, and 0 turns it off; it starts when you press it and never on its own, and it restarts on each new card while it is running. Pass puts the card back in the deck, so it can come round again later in the round.

Accuracy. The original and Christmas prompt decks were written for this tool; Movie titles uses real film titles. All prompts are tagged by hand for acting, drawing and difficulty. Difficulty is a judgement rather than a measurement and depends on your group’s references.
