Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Gean, the solo builder behind CategoRush. I built this because I kept finding myself at game nights without the actual Scattergories box and every digital alternative either needed an app download, an account, or had a paywall. So I built the simplest possible version: open a browser, host a game, read the code out loud, everyone joins in under 30 seconds. That's it. A few things I'm proud of: — The timer is server-synced, not just local, so everyone's clock is actually in sync — Pencil Mode for groups who love writing on paper but want the app to handle the categories and timing — Works great on mobile, no install required It's completely free. If you enjoy it, there's a Buy Me a Coffee link — every coffee helps keep the servers running ☕ Would love to hear what you think, and if you find any bugs or have feature ideas, drop them below. Happy to build what the community wants! 🔗 https://categorush.com
