👥Team Play

Team Play brings a social dimension to Rekog. Compete with friends or family to see which team has the best recognition skills!

  • •Group Competition: Form teams to compete against each other.
  • •Scoring Per Round: Teams earn points for correct words in each answer.
  • •Optional Challenge Rounds: After 10 standard rounds, you can play optional Challenge Rounds where teams can wager points.
  • •Team Discussion: Collaborate with teammates to identify images correctly.

Setting Up Team Play

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.
  • Teams choose to play Challenge Rounds or not. If teams choose to play Challenge Rounds, choose 'Blind' or 'Informed' wagering.
  • Choose a scorekeeper.
  • Set optional time limits.

Form teams—teams don't need to have equal numbers. Each team can use any writing tools they have available (pen and paper, dry erase marker with whiteboard, or your phone) to document answers and keep score.

Team Play Rounds

  1. 1.View the Rekog image shown on screen.
  2. 2.Teams examine the image and write down their answers (discuss quietly to avoid giving away answers).
  3. 3.All teams reveal their answers simultaneously.
  4. 4.Check the correct answer by clicking the Answer button.
  5. 5.Calculate and update scores based on correct guesses.

Optional Challenge Rounds

When you've completed 10 rounds of standard Team Play, you can choose to play optional Challenge Rounds.

In Challenge Rounds, teams can wager points before guessing. Teams should decide whether to wager Blindly (before seeing the card) or Informed (after seeing the card) before starting the Challenge Rounds.

Time Considerations

A full game with 12 cards and 10-12 people typically takes about an hour to complete. Plan your session accordingly!

For more efficient gameplay, consider setting time limits for each round (e.g., 3-5 minutes per image). This keeps the pace engaging and ensures everyone stays focused.
