Petit Bac (French for "Categories", similar to Scattergories) is a free online multiplayer word game to play with friends, family, or coworkers. Pick a random letter, find a word for each category (first name, animal, country, job...) before time runs out, and score points based on how original your answers are. No sign-up required: create a room, share the 5-character code, and play in real time straight from your browser.
How to play Petit Bac online
- Create a room: pick your categories, the number of rounds, and how each round ends (a timer or the STOP button).
- Share the room code with your friends — they join instantly from their phone or computer.
- Everyone fills in their answers before time runs out (or before someone hits STOP).
- Vote on whether other players' answers are valid, then check the scoreboard: 10 points for a unique valid answer, 5 if it's shared, 0 if it's invalidated.
