Head over to Swellgarfo Scattergories to start the game.

2. Choose Your Category & Letter

Each round features a new letter and a list of categories (e.g., things that are red, animals, cities).
Your goal: quickly come up with words that fit each category and start with the given letter.

3. Set a Timer

Agree on a time limit—two minutes per round keeps things exciting and fast-paced!

  • Double points for alliteration (e.g., “Silly Snake” for animal that starts with “S”) if you want an extra challenge!
