How to play

1. Two people face off and agree on a category or prompt.
2. On a count of three, both say a word out loud at the same time.
3. The goal is to avoid matching — say the same word as your opponent and you lose the round.
4. Switch prompts and partners to keep it going.

Variations

• Working title — the creator posed it as on-screen text ("Can you avoid saying the same thing as me?") rather than a name.
