How to Play the Timer Game with a Group
The timer game scales beautifully — if you pick the right format for the group size.
3–5 players: the league
Best of 7 rounds with the exact-hit bonus on. Enough turns for comebacks, short enough to finish before the snacks do.
6–12 players: fast targets
Switch to the 3 second challenge or a 0.1–3s random range so turns fly around the table. Keep rounds to best of 5.
Mix in Guess the Time
Alternate rounds with Guess the Time — the runner role rotating keeps everyone scheming instead of just waiting.
Remote friends
Someone missing? Start an online challenge and they play the same targets from their own device while the room plays pass-and-play.
