About this game

Time's Up! Party trims the beloved three-round guessing game down to a tighter box and a faster night. You still build a pile of names together and guess them three times, free description first, one word only next, silent charades last, but the smaller scale means it is ready in minutes and wraps in half an hour. It keeps every bit of the original's magic: cards that seemed impossible in round one become instant answers by round three, purely because your team already heard the story once. A dependable pick when you want the Time's Up! energy without committing a whole evening to it.
