HOW TO PLAY

Scunthorpe — a party word game for 3–8 players

WHAT IS THIS?

Scunthorpe is a party game where you build the funniest answer to a prompt using word tiles. Played in person with friends or over Discord — everyone joins on their own phone or laptop.

SETUP

  1. One player taps HOST GAME to create a room and gets a PIN
  2. Everyone else taps JOIN GAME and enters the PIN (or uses the invite link)
  3. The host starts the game when 3+ players have joined

EACH ROUND

  1. A prompt appears — something like "The worst thing to say on a first date is ___."
  2. You get a hand of word tiles: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and little connecting words
  3. Drag and arrange tiles to build your funniest answer before the timer runs out
  4. All answers are revealed anonymously. Vote for your favorite (you can't vote for your own)

TIPS

STRATEGY

You don't have to use all your tiles. Sometimes the funniest answer is just two or three words.

JOINING LATE?

Players can join mid-game — they can jump in at the start of the next round.

PLAY TOGETHER

This game is meant to be played in the same room, or on a voice call (Discord, etc.) so everyone can laugh at the answers together. It's not much fun in silence!
