Plan your next Use Your Words session
Our independent guide offers deeper observations on each core element of Use Your Words, helping groups fine‑tune sessions without altering the official rules or content.
01 / THE GUIDE
Prompt Timing
Watch how quickly each mini‑game advances. Faster rounds like Survey Says reward spontaneous humor, while slower subtitle rounds give time for more elaborate jokes. Adjust pacing to match your group's energy.
- Match the mood of the clip in Sub The Title for a stronger punchline.
- In Survey Says, answer quickly to keep pace with the lightning‑round format.

Device Layout
Compare on‑screen keyboards across phones and tablets. Larger screens often make typing easier, so arrange devices to keep answer entry smooth for every player.
- Connect all devices to the same Wi‑Fi network for reliable communication.
- Close unnecessary browser tabs to minimise potential lag.

Spectator Impact
Observe how spectator voting adds to the competition, and encourage active voting for a lively session.
- Encourage spectators to vote promptly to maintain game flow.
- Use a large screen so spectators can read prompts clearly.
04 / THE GUIDE
Family vs. Standard Prompts
Play a round in standard mode, then repeat it with Family Mode enabled. The contrast in prompt tone highlights how content filtering changes the humor style, useful for mixed‑age groups.
- Enable Family Mode for mixed‑age gatherings to keep humor appropriate.
- Review a few prompts after activation to confirm the content shift.

Audio Ambience
Listen to the vintage soundtrack during different mini‑games. The music’s mood can subtly affect creativity; experiment with volume to find the sweet spot for your group.
- Adjust room volume so the music complements conversation.
- Enjoy the vintage soundtrack’s nostalgic feel during play.
