About the game

What you do in a play session

Know that friend who struggles with charades and ends up looking completely ridiculous? Well, On a Scale of One to T-Rex was made specifically for them! Coming from the creative minds behind Exploding Kittens and The Mind, this party game turns awkwardness into pure comedic gold. Instead of traditional guessing, the gameplay revolves around intensity. You'll be tasked with performing hilarious actions on a scale ranging from 'barely noticeable' to 'full-on T-Rex energy.' The goal is to match your level of performance with another player to score points. It's all about reading the room and your friends' vibes. With rounds lasting about 15 minutes, it's the ultimate icebreaker for any gathering. It's fast, it's loud, and it requires zero deep strategy—just a willingness to be silly. Whether you're playing with a small group or a massive crowd, this game guarantees laughs by turning social awkwardness into a competitive-yet-hilarious-scale-of-performance challenge. Perfect for those who want high-energy fun without the stress of complex rules!
