THE RULES OF THE HIVE
How to Play
Hear the Word
The Reader draws a Word Card and announces the word at the chosen difficulty — Easy, Medium, or Hard.
Spell or Sink
You have 30 seconds to spell it aloud. Choose your letters carefully — once you stop, your answer is locked in.
Avoid the Sting
Nail it, survive the round. Misspell or run out of time? That's a strike — draw a Buzz Card and take the sting.
Crown the Champ
Three strikes (buzz cards) and you're out, but stick around for the challenges. Last speller standing is crowned the Buzzed Bee Champion.
Everything you need. Just add friends.
A little competition. A litte Buzz. A lot of laughs.

Ask the Hive
How many players do I need?
Buzzed Bee plays best with 3-10 players, but we've seen whole parties join in.
Do I actually have to drink?
Not at all. Remove the Buzz Cards for a alcohol free competition. It's fun either way.
How long does a game take?
Most rounds run 20-40 minutes depending on group size and how many people get stung along the way.
Is this appropriate for a work party?
It can be! Skip the Buzz Cards or swap in the alcohol-free variant for a office-friendly round.
When will my order ship?
Once our inventory arrives, orders ship within 1-2 business days, with delivery typically taking 3-7 business days depending on your location.
