20 Second Showdown is a fast-paced game for 5-20 players. One player is the referee. The others divide into two teams, sit opposite each other and brace themselves.

At the beginning of each round, the referee resets the hourglass with an even amount of sand in each half. The referee turns the hourglass over and reads the card. Each card contains 2 challenges and the referee decides which side is used in a round.

“Get up and do the YMCA. Introduce yourself politely without closing your mouth. Name three countries that start with the letter B. Use your own sock as a hand puppet. List all the things you ate today.”

With each challenge achieved, the referee turns the hourglass over. To win, you must force the other team to run out of sand by completing your challenges as quickly as possible. The first team to run out of sand loses the round and the first team to win three rounds is crowned champions!
