How to play Dump-it

Dump-it is a category brain-dump. You get one category, like “Rock bands” or “Pizza toppings”, and 60 seconds to pin up as many answers as you can.

Solo

1. Read the category, then press Start. The 60-second clock begins.
2. Type an answer and press Enter. If it counts, it lands on the board as a sticky note.
3. A wrong answer or a typo costs you nothing but time. Try again.
4. When time runs out you see your score, how you compare with other players, and a few answers you missed.

Scoring

• Common answers are worth 10 points. Rare answers are worth 25 and get a ★ on the note.
• Rarity belongs to the answer in that category. A band can be rare in one category and common in another.
• Aliases and plurals count, so “CCR” and “Creedence Clearwater Revival” are the same answer. Each answer scores once.

Ways to play

• Today’s Daily: one category for everyone, one play per day. It counts for the leaderboard and your monthly rank.
• Casual: pick any category, as often as you like. It never counts for the leaderboard.
• Head to head: tap Find a match for a random opponent, or make a room and share the 4-letter code. Both players get the same category and take turns, one answer each. You have 10 seconds per turn. Run out of time and you take a strike. Three strikes and you are out, and the last player standing wins.

In a match, an answer already on the board can’t be used again. Your opponent’s notes show in a different color. Daily head to head is for fun and does not count for the daily leaderboard.

Was your answer right?

If a real answer isn’t recognized, tap Should it count?. We review suggestions and add the good ones.

Tips

• Go broad first, then dig for the rare ones near the end.
• Think in groups: for bands, try decades, countries and genres.
• In a match, save a safe answer for when you are stuck.
