description Outburst Overview
Outburst is a team-based verbal party game organized around named topics. For each round, a team tries to say the answers associated with the topic while another player checks them against the game’s listed target responses and a timer limits the turn. The game rewards fast recall, broad associations, and group communication, and is intended for social play with several participants.
help Outburst FAQ
How does the Outburst party game work?
Two teams receive a topic and try to shout the listed target answers before the timer runs out. A guess earns a point only when it matches one of the responses printed on the card. [Hasbro](https://instructions.hasbro.com/en-us/instruction/outburst-game)
Does Outburst accept any answer that fits the topic?
No. The game is built around matching the card's hidden or printed target responses, so a plausible answer can still score nothing if it is not on the list. That fixed-answer rule is what separates Outburst from open-ended category games. [Hasbro](https://instructions.hasbro.com/en-us/instruction/outburst-game)
How many people and cards are in the current Outburst edition?
Hasbro's C0419 edition is designed for two teams and includes 243 cards, over 450 topics, a timer, pass chips and a score pad. The first team to reach 60 points wins that edition. [Hasbro](https://instructions.hasbro.com/en-us/instruction/outburst-game)
How is Outburst different from Scattergories?
Outburst asks teams to find a fixed set of target answers on a topic card, while Scattergories asks players to invent answers that fit a category and a chosen letter. Outburst therefore rewards recall and speed against a list, not just creativity or vocabulary. [Hasbro](https://instructions.hasbro.com/en-us/instruction/outburst-game)
