How It Works
- The admin creates categories (e.g., 「Books」, 「Movies」, 「Animals」) and uploads a 64x64px icon.
- Each category contains words/phrases and optionally a short comment (e.g., 「The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo」 – Author: Larsson Stieg).
- Players split into two teams and choose team names.
- A random word or phrase is shown to one team while the others guess.
- Each team has a set time (default: 90 seconds) to act out and guess the word.
- Teams alternate turns; correct guesses earn points.
- The team with the most points (or the fastest response time in a tie) wins!
