We scramble for paper and pen, rattle the box of plastic cubes, set them in place, set someone's Samsung or Nokia to 3mins (the plastic hourglass we so love was alas not part of the discovery), and we're off! Eyes racing to form patterns, neurons sending rapid electrical signals in the lexiconic bit of the brain, fingers grapsing instruments jotting down word after word after word. It's like a very controlled F1 with a time limit. Then we laugh as we compare words and what we think are words.
We've been spending anything from 15mins to more than an hour playing this game. It is strangely addictive, looking for words with your eyes. We played so much that we're slightly jaded by 3 letter words and applaud efforts 5 letters or greater. We formed UNISON once, STORAGES came by once and KITTENS stumbled our way as well. On the lighter note, ahem, we've had TITS and BRA in the same round.
Ultimately, this is a group activity and the lunatics I play with are fun to hang with, albeit the extra time we spend in the office.
