BrouHaHa

BrouHaHa is a competitive spelling game for up to 12 players online. You hear a word read aloud, then type it correctly before the timer runs out, without hints, on-screen letters or autocorrect. Everyone hears the same word at the same time and types in silence; answers are revealed together, and the fastest correct spellers earn the highest scores as the lobby leaderboard changes.

Rounds and hearts

Each round contains three words. Your score resets after every round, but your hearts carry over: players at the bottom lose a heart, while the leaders gain one. In a full lobby, the bottom three lose hearts and the top two gain them. Losing your last heart eliminates you.

The words get tougher to answer as each round passes. The timer falls from 12 seconds toward 6, while your free audio replays decrease from three to none.

Coupons and cards

Correctly spelling a word earns dollars. After each round, you can spend them in a weighted shop on more than 100 hand-drawn coupons, with Common, Uncommon, Rare and Legendary rarities. Before each word, a card phase lets you play coupons on a player who is beating you or use them on yourself. Coupons can grant extra seconds, more replays, score multipliers, the opening letters of a word or protection against elimination; others affect the economy, sabotage opponents or add chaos. You can sell a coupon back for half its price.

Some coupons take effect passively without being played, while others are for a single dramatic moment. You can hold three active cards and two passive cards, so choosing what to keep is central to the game.

Online play

You can find a match through Quick Play or create a private lobby and invite players through Steam. Eliminated players can spectate or leave to join another match.

Words and audio

Each language has more than 6,000 words, filtered for real, spellable and unambiguous entries. Word audio is available in English, German and Spanish; each lobby uses one language, so everyone hears the same pronunciation.
