3. Continuing clockwise, each participant says the first word that comes into his/her mind that is related to the word that has just been said.

4. If a participant fulfills any of the three things listed blow, then he/she is eliminated.

• 1. Cannot come up with a word in 3 seconds 1

  2. Writes a word that has already been said

  3. Writes a word is not related in any way

5. The participant can explain or defend his/her answer facing elimination, but the facilitator has the final say.
