Two sides of every round

The crew

You see the word

  • Ask questions only someone who has seen the word could answer.
  • Too vague, and you start to look like Shaksy.
  • Too specific, and you hand Shaksy the word.

Shaksy

You see nothing

  • Listen closely. Every answer is a clue.
  • Answer with confidence, never with details.
  • Blend in. Stay calm. Don't get caught.

File 04About Shaksy

Inspired by doubt and suspicion.

Shaksy comes from “Shak”, the Hindi and Urdu word for doubt or suspicion. The playful ending turns the idea into a character:

“Who's Shaksy this round?”
