Free Scattergories online — play in your browser with friends

Scattergories is a classic category-and-letter word game: a letter is drawn, a timer starts, and players write words fitting the given categories that begin with that letter. No two words can match between players.

Parloo's Category mode (Turkish: İsim Şehir Ülke) is the same format: random letter, category list, timer, unique-word scoring. It works in any browser, on any device, with 2-10 players, no signup, no purchase.

For remote groups who want to play Scattergories without shipping the physical pack, Parloo is the online equivalent.
