Off the List

How to play

Each round shows a category, such as Things you find in a hotel room. Before anyone writes a word, the AI seals the ten answers most people would give first, face down. Your team then fills three shared answer boxes together, with its own team chat: anyone can write or replace an answer. The trick is to find answers that clearly fit the category but that nobody would say first.

When the answers are locked, the cards flip from #10 to #1 and the AI rules on every answer with a one-line reason. A valid answer that isn’t on its list scores 3 points. An answer on the list scores nothing, because the AI caught it, and an answer that doesn’t fit the category costs a point. Synonyms, plurals and typos count as the same answer, so “towels” won’t slip past “towel”.

The host picks the mode: everyone together against the AI, or 2 or 3 random teams (from 4 and 6 players). In co-op the AI collects points for every answer it catches and the group tries to finish ahead of it; with teams, the highest team score wins. Think the AI ruled one of your answers invalid by mistake? Each team gets one appeal per game: the other players vote, and a majority turns it into an off-list answer.
