This award-winning game proves that giving virtual gifts can be way more fun than buying real ones, making it the perfect party starter. Forget needing drawing, acting, or trivia skills; GiftTRAP is for everyone, regardless of age or talent. Each round, you'll get a selection of random gifts, and the challenge is to pick which one to give to each friend, trying to guess what they'd like best (or what you think they *should* like!). Then, it's your turn to choose which gifts you want to receive, using tokens like 'Ok', 'Good', 'Great', and 'No Way' to show your satisfaction. The reveal is the best part, when everyone shows what they wanted and what they received. Scoring is twofold: the giver earns 'Giving' points for a well-chosen gift, and the receiver earns 'Getting' points based on what they actually wanted. The first to reach the end of both scoring tracks wins. It's a game that sparks conversations, reveals personalities, and guarantees hilarious moments, serving as a fantastic icebreaker for any group. ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for GiftTRAP?
