the short

Biblio Buzz is an alliterative word game designed to test your vocabulary and ability to think on your toes! Inspired by games such as Charades, Taboo, Anomia, and Contact, Biblio Buzz differentiates itself through its focus on alliteration and engaging play style. Players compete in teams to guess as many individual words (each printed on a separate card) as possible within a time limit, where one team member must guess keywords while all other members provide them hints. The twist? Players can only give one-word hints that start with the same letter as the word on their drawn card.

I created this game with two of my closest friends for the class CS 247G: Introduction to Game Design. I am very grateful for both their support and shared mischievousness, but I'm most grateful for the fact that we were able to have so much fun with each other and our other classmates in testing and perfecting our game!

At the heart of Biblio Buzz is our belief that fun, challenging games are best when made simple. Through this game, we hope to encourage players to think outside of the box, build connections with their fellow team members, and discover a love for language.
