Trivia Host will name a theme (i.e. science, sex, food, animals) and ask a trivia question The first chatter to type in the correct answer wins * Great trivia questions are easy to find for the host but PLEASE don’t Google the answers, it just takes all the fun out of it

Crazy anagrams Host will post a series of random letters In the chat he/she will type round 1. Chatters will have a certain amount of time (decided by the host) to come up with a word/s using those letters The host will give the chatter with the most valid words a point for that round * This game can also be given themes in which chatters will have to come up with a word/s that pertains to a particular theme set by the host, making the challenge a bit more difficult.

Chatters will have a certain amount of time (decided by the host) to come up with a phrase or sentence using the letters provided as the first letter in each word When the round is over, the host will read the username of the chatters who played out loud and everyone will vote whose phrase they liked best.

Mad Gab Game Your team has 30 seconds to solve three word puzzles. Example: Puzzle: Amen Ask Hurt. Answer: "a mini skirt!" Get two more within the time limit and you get a point. But beware: if you miss, the other team has a chance to steal! The first team to get 25 points wins the game.
