A timer beeps at an increasing rate before randomly buzzing, signaling the end of turn. The word list is advanced by pressing a button on the right side of the disc apparatus.

When the team guesses correctly, the other team takes its turn.

One member of a team starts the timer and tries to get his or her team to guess the displayed word or phrase. The goal for each player is to get their team to say the word or word phrase displayed in the disc. Later, stand-alone electronic devices with built-in random lists of word phrases were made available. Initially, the game consisted of a timer and a plastic disc that displayed one word at a time.
