Rules

Rules of the game

The rules are simple -

  • Every question is designed with N smells
  • The team answering a question needs to identify N smells and justify each of them, in a total of 2 minutes
  • The team gets one point for each right smell and one point for each valid justification
    • No ilities, no ities while justifying a smell

Every game needs to have a “fun” element in it. Keeping this in mind, a concept of OPEN question was brought in.

OPEN question

  • If a team can not identify or justify all the smells, the question becomes OPEN for any other team to pick.
  • In order to pick an OPEN question, a team or any of its members needs to ping “Picked” on Zoom chat only after the question has been confirmed OPEN
  • The first 2 teams to ping “Picked” get the OPEN question

OPEN questions also push other teams have to be attentive because this is an opportunity for them to score.

Rules for OPEN questions

The rules for OPEN questions are a little different -

  • The team gets 1 minute to identify and/or justify the remaining smells
  • The team gets double of all the points: 2 points for each smell and 2 for each valid justification
