  2. After a correct guess, the team continues drawing and guessing topics until one minute has elapsed.
  3. Then, it's the second team's turn.
  4. The team that guesses the most topics in one minute is the round winner.
  5. The game proceeds to further rounds which are as follows:
    • Round 1: Describe the item with words
    • Round 2: Describe the item using only one word
    • Round 3: Perform the item using charades
