WHAT IS PERSON DO THING?
Person Do Thing is played by taking turns to describe a "target word" — shown at the top of the screen — using only 33 basic words, like Person, Do, and Thing. You'll need to get creative, using these simple words in funny combinations to get your message across.
A turn is complete when the rest of your group figures out your target word. Your group can guess and ask questions using any words at all — only the describing player is restricted to the 33-word vocabulary.

There are two ways to play Person Do Thing: without scoring (cooperative) and with scoring (competitive).
THE FINE PRINT
- If someone says a variant of your target word, that's a win. E.g. target is Believe and someone says Belief or Believing.
- If your group says three synonyms, that's a win. E.g. target is Handsome, group says Beautiful, Gorgeous, and Attractive.
- If the Say-Person accidentally uses a forbidden word, you can generally ignore it and keep going.
- Some gestures are allowed, but no miming.
- The vocabulary box is organized into four categories: Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, and Helpers.
- For an extra challenge, require guessers to ask questions using only the 33 words too.
- The meta-rule: if it's funny and your group allows it, it's allowed.
