Scattergories lists 


READY, SET, GO! 10 FUNNY, NEW SCATTERGORIES LISTS TO PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS

A simple game that's super entertaining.

If you’re looking for a fun virtual or in-person activity to kick off game
night, look no further than Scattergories. Scattergories is one of the best
adult board games to play with friends because the directions are super
simple—you don’t even need a table in order to play, which makes it super easy
to play remotely over Zoom if you want to play with long-distance friends and
family.

Beyond being a fun way to interact with friends, answering Scattergories lists
challenges your brain by making you come up with clever, creative answers you
think no one else will write down. Plus, when players read their answers to the
Scattergories categories aloud after each round is done, you could learn
something new about them!








HOW TO PLAY SCATTERGORIES



This game is all about flexing your creative muscles to the best of your
abilities. Unlike most popular board games, you don’t need to move pieces across
a board or collect cards to win. To start, roll a 20 sided dice to find which
letter of the alphabet you’ll be playing with (Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z are
excluded) and start with a new Scattergories list from the examples below (or
make your own!).






Players have a specific time limit to think of a word that fits each of the 12
Scattergories categories on the list that begin with the letter rolled. Every
word a player chooses has to be unique and creative because if another player
says the same word that you’re thinking first, you do not get any points.

Example: If a category on a list is “Animal” and the first letter is “D”, the
word “dog” would be a very common answer but words like “Dachshund” and
“Dalmatian” may be a better answer because other players are less likely to come
up with those words first!







CREATING SCATTERGORIES LISTS

Usually, a game of Scattergories comes with ten pre-made Scattergories lists.
However, they can get repetitive if you play this game regularly. Spicing things
up with new or funny Scattergories categories of your own can lead to even more
laughter, quick thinking, and friendly competition!



Can’t think of some new Scattergories categories to make up your own list? Just
use one of our examples of Scattergories lists below!
