Each turn, the active player draws three words from the deck and chooses one of these words to convey to the audience. The player may plan and think about how to convey the word, and at her signal a three-minute timer is started.
Each turn, the active player draws three words from the deck and chooses one of these words to convey to the audience. The player may spend a reasonable amount of time planning and thinking about how to convey the word, and at her signal a three-minute timer is started.


The active player then attempts to silently get the audience to guess the chosen word by using Looney Pyramids to paint a picture or scene. The focus of the audience should be on the pyramids, not on the active player. Therefore the active player may not use facial expressions or parts of her own body as elements of the scene.
