Inspired by popular games such as Taboo and Heads Up!. Players take turns guessing different artworks based on descriptions given by their teammates, with the restriction that none of the words on screen can be used as a clue. The game's goal are social interaction in the gallery, while engaging with the artworks.

• How it Works

  Within your group of players, each person takes turns being the “guesser” and try to guess as many paintings as possible within a time limit, while the rest of the group act as the “describer” and try to describe the painting they see on the game device. Don’t say the “forbidden words” when you describe. When everyone finishes their turn, see how your group scores at the end, and who’s the MVP!
