How to play

  1. Load a random this or that set and hit record without previewing the pairs.
  2. Say your pick the second the pair appears above your head.
  3. Rate how close the call was, 1 to 10, then move straight on.
  4. Finish on the speed round so the clip ends fast instead of trailing off.

  • Speed up the last twelve pairs in editing. A rising tempo is the cheapest way to hold the second half of a clip.
  • Answer with your hands as well as your voice. Two option picks read better with a lean or a point.
