Scattergories, as the name suggests, is a party game that involves listing out things that fall in the given categories. An impressive technique to improve your vocabulary and still have a little fun, Scattergories also tests your knowledge about various subjects.

Originally, the game was developed by Hasbro; however, to add a little twist, this game can be customized by tweaking the rules according to the players’ preferences. It comes with 20-faced die with alphabets on each face. Each list typically has 12 categories, and you have to write the thing asked in the category question, starting with the letter on the die. If you don’t have a die, you can use a bag containing alphabets, and pick one from the bag every time.

While it is not necessary to have a theme-based category question, you could pick one randomly, we’ve provided some scattergories based of various themes.
