    THIS GAME IS IN AN EARLY BETA STATE. PARDON THE DUST!
    https://whatsamook.games/re/
    You will be playing as a full player.
    You will be playing as a Saboteur on all turns.
    Answer set: (change)

    Welcome to REDACTIONARY

    • OH NO! Your partner found a BOMB and only you know the secret word to disarm it!
      OH NO
      You (the Encoder) need to write and send them a description of the word so that they (the Decoder) can guess what it is!
    • But don't be too obvious describing your word, because on your turn, all other players (besides the Decoder) will be SABOTEURS, who will be submitting a list of words that they'll predict you used in your description.

      All words correctly predicted will be REDACTED from your description when it's revealed to the Decoder.
    • ENCODERS: BE UNPREDICTABLE
      So, for example, if your word were CAT...

      Avoid writing obvious sentences like:
      ❌ " This is a furry animal that meows and purrs. "

      Try something like:
      ✅ " These domesticated creatures are sometimes jerks who knock cups off your desk. "
    • We start with everybodyall full players writing their Encoder descriptions at the same time!
      Tip: Use the whole timer and write as much as you can!
      (Saboteur-onlys: Just hang out while the Encoders are writing their descriptions)
    Skip this tutorial and start the game

    ROUND


    It's time for Encoders to write a new description of a new word!

    Waiting for the host to continue the game...
    First, as an ENCODER, write a description of your word below to help your DECODER (which you'll be assigned later) guess what it is.
    You submitted your clue!
    You'll be playing each turn of the game as a SABOTEUR.
    Describe this word:
    All Encoders are composing their messages...
     

    Type as much as you can in the box above to help your assigned Decoder (TBD) guess your word!
    • Avoid using obvious language, which the Saboteurs would have a good chance to redact.
    • Don't use any part of the answer word; don't give clues for how your word is spelled, or what it sounds like/rhymes with.
    • Any words not in our dictionary will automatically be redacted.
    • TIME'S UP!

      Now it's time to go through all of the Encoders' messages one by one! A Decoder will be assigned at random for each, who will try guess the word to disarm the Bomb.

      On each turn, everyone else is a Saboteur, and gets seconds to submit up to words they predict the Encoder used in their message. Correctly predicted words will be redacted from the message when it's revealed to the Decoder!
    • Scoring

      Saboteurs get 1 point for every word they redact from each message; 2 points if they were the only one who typed that word.

      The Encoder and Decoder each get 4 points if the word is guessed correctly.

    Skip this tutorial and continue the game
    Waiting for the host to continue the game...
    Time's up!
    If you didn't click Submit, whatever you had typed was auto-submitted.

    Now it's time to go through everyone's words, one at a time!
