Scattergories To Go

This portable word game has players write category answers beginning with a rolled letter and score unique responses across three rounds. Matching another player’s answer earns nothing, so originality matters as much as quickly finding a word.

Read the full game description

A travel version of Scattergories. Scattergories To Go is a portable party game where the players think of and write a list of words that start with the same letter to match a list of categories. The letter is determined by the roll of a die for each round. Points are scored by having answers that no other player has. Each game is played over three rounds. Each round has different list of categories and different starting letter. All of the components are smaller than in the parent game and are made to fit in an included plastic travel case. The game includes 4 folders with clips, a pad of answer sheets, 4 pencils, 4 sets of 6 category cards with 144 categories, a timer, a 20 sided letter die, and instructions.
