How it works
- 1
An emoji puzzle appears
Every round shows a string of emoji hiding a phrase everyone knows — like 🧊⛏️ or 🌧️🐱🐶. Idioms and proverbs only, so anyone can crack them.
- 2
Type it before the clock
Everyone answers on their own device with 30 seconds to think. You get exactly one typed shot per round — make it count.

Score for speed
A correct answer earns 1000 points, plus up to 500 more the faster you lock it in. The reveal shows everyone's guesses and the story behind the phrase.
Why it's fun
⚡ That tip-of-the-tongue rush
You know you know it — 🐺👕🐑 is right there. The race between your brain and the 30-second timer is the whole game, and nailing it with a big speed bonus feels fantastic.
😂 Wrong answers are the best part
Every reveal shows exactly what everyone typed — including the gloriously wrong guesses — plus the surprising real story behind each idiom and proverb.
