About the game

What you do in a play session

Smarty Party! is a party game that uniquely blends trivia with teamwork. The goal is simple: each round, players must collectively list items from a specific category (like '10 US states with the most coastline'). Whoever misses or passes their turn moves forward on the board, and the winner is the one who spent the least time 'in the hot seat.' The game feels like a mix of Trivial Pursuit and Outburst, minus the frantic screaming. Perfect for groups of 3 to 8 players, it tests your general knowledge and quick thinking under pressure. And if you love it, there are several expansions to spice things up!
