In Earwax, players must creatively work within some constraints to produce an auditory experience that best captures a phrase. Let’s say you get the prompt: “The craziest football halftime show.” You then choose two sound effects from a short list that best sum up the prompt. A car alarm and a donkey braying? Sure. A donkey braying followed by a long fart sound? Now we’re talking.

During each round, an appointed judge decides which sound effect pairing is the best. The player who creates the most winning sounds is crowned the champion! [trumpet sound followed by a wet fart].
