Category Sprint
Name as many as you can before time runs out.
This Outburst-style party game hands you a random category and starts a timer while you race to name as many items as you can before it runs out. It's perfect for game nights and warm-ups, keeping the focus on fast prompts and a clock rather than fiddly setup.

Frequently asked questions
How long should the timer be?
Sixty seconds is the classic Outburst length. Try 30 for a faster pace or 120 for an easier warm-up.
How do we keep score?
Track points on paper or in a notes app — the tool deliberately sticks to prompts plus a timer so play stays quick.
Are the categories random?
Yes. Each category is pulled at random using your browser's crypto.getRandomValues, so rounds stay unpredictable.
Does it need to be online?
No. The game runs entirely in your browser, works offline, and never sends any data to a server.
