Petit bac online: the French categories word game, free with friends
The categories word game everyone played at school, without paper or pencil: a random letter, the categories you want, and votes to settle doubtful answers.
- 👥 2 to 10 players
- ⏱️ 10–20 min
- 🆓 Free
- 📱 Computer, phone, tablet
Goal of the game
Score the most points by finding original words for each category.
4S4F BAC rules
- A letter is drawn at random. Find a word starting with that letter for each category: first name, country, animal, sandwich ingredient, job…
- The first player to fill everything presses STOP: the others have 5 more seconds.
- Everyone sees the answers and votes 👎 on the wrong ones. A word rejected by the majority doesn't count.
- 10 points for a word nobody else found, 5 points if someone wrote the same one, 0 if empty or rejected.
- The host chooses the categories (and can invent new ones), the number of rounds and the time.
Tips
- An original word is worth twice as much: avoid the obvious answers.
- Invent your own categories for games with friends.
