How to Play Rekog
Getting Started
Rekog is a team-based party game where players compete to identify images on cards. Each correct word in your answer earns points, and bonus rounds let you wager points for bigger rewards!
Quick Setup
- Form teams (any size)
- Get writing materials
- Choose a scorekeeper
- Set optional time limits
- Teams choose 'Blind' or 'Informed' wagering
Playing a Round
1. See the Image
An image is shown to all teams. Each image has a number that tells you the maximum words you can write in your answer. For example, if you see "#2", you can write up to 2 words.
2. Write Your Answer
Teams discuss quietly and write down their answer. You can write fewer words than the maximum, but not more. Keep your answer hidden from other teams!
Pro Tip: Use hand signals or write notes to communicate with your team instead of speaking out loud - other teams might hear your answer!
3. Reveal & Score
When everyone's ready, all teams reveal their answers at once. The correct answer is then shown.
Scoring Example:
- • "Dragon Fruit" = 2 points (perfect!)
- • "Dragon" = 1 point (partial credit)
- • "Dragon Frut" = 1 point (misspelled "Fruit")
- • "Purple Fruit" = 1 point (partial credit for "Fruit")
