About the Game

Trends is the one and only game powered by the Internet! (based on the Funhaus show)

Local
Players pair one word with a given term. Those word pairs are submitted to a search engine to score each search term. Players gain the number of points that the search engine assigned to each search term. This can be done for as many rounds as the players want.

Online Multiplayer
Players join a lobby and can each play from their own device.

Presentation Mode
Two teams play the game. However, this mode is operated by one person and displayed on two separate locations. This format enables a game-show-style presentation.
