How It Works
- Participants will compete in teams of 4.
- In each turn, one member of the team will pick an Economics-related word or phrase.
- The participant will have 60 seconds to act out the given term while their teammates try to guess it.
- No speaking, writing, spelling through gestures, or verbal clues are allowed.
- The game will consist of multiple rounds, with the difficulty level increasing as the rounds progress.
- Teams will earn points based on how quickly they correctly guess the given term.
Scoring:
- Correct guess within 30 seconds: 10 points
- Correct guess within 60 seconds: 5 points
- Pass / No correct guess: 0 points
The Steal
If a team fails to guess the term within their allotted time, another team will get an opportunity to steal the answer.
A successful steal will earn the team 5 points.
