In a Nutshell is a party game where teams guess answers by revealing as few words as possible from a hidden question.

The fewer words you reveal, the better your score – but only if you get the answer right. Do you take a wild guess from almost nothing, or reveal more words and play it safe?

There are two ways to play:

• Hot Nutato
  Teams go head-to-head with the same hidden question. On your turn, you can either guess the answer or reveal one more word for the other team. You only get one guess: get it right and you win the round; get it wrong and the other team wins. Every reveal makes the question easier, but also hands the decision and the pressure straight back to your opponents.

• Nut Picker
  One player secretly chooses how many words to reveal from the question before their team guesses. The fewer words they keep, the better their result if the team gets it right – but remove too much and the team may be left with an impossible question. Correct guesses help you fall more slowly down the tree, while wrong guesses send you dropping faster.

In a Nutshell is a game of clever clue-reading, push-your-luck decisions, and brilliant how did you get that? moments when someone guesses the answer from just a word or two.
