5 Second Rule
Name 3 — quick, with a 5-second countdown.
Get a quick "name three" challenge — like "name three ice cream flavors" — and try to answer before a short countdown runs out. It's a fast, laugh-out-loud party game that works for road trips, classrooms, and gatherings. Switch between clean, kids, and spicy packs to match your crowd.

Why 5 seconds?
It's short enough to be funny when someone freezes, but long enough for one or two confident answers. Bump it up in Options if your group needs a softer pace.
Is there a kids version?
Yes. Switch the Pack to Kids in Options for age-friendly prompts, or pick the spicy pack for an adult crowd.
Are the prompts random?
Yes. Each prompt is drawn at random from the chosen pack using the Web Crypto API, so the order stays unpredictable.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so it works offline and none of your activity is sent to a server.
