What it is
Antakshari is the singing game of road trips, weddings and family nights. One team sings a few lines of a song, and the next team must start a new song with the last letter of the one before. If a team can’t think of a song in time, they lose the turn.
Khel ON is the quizmaster: it picks the letter, runs a 20, 30 or 45 second timer, keeps the score for up to four teams, and every fifth turn calls a theme, such as rain songs or wedding songs, for double points. It plays no music and shows no words of any song. The singing is all yours.

How to play
Make teams
Split into 2, 3 or 4 teams and choose English, Hindi or Punjabi letters.
Start the timer
The team whose turn it is taps Start and sings a song that begins with the letter shown.
Pass on your last letter
Sang it? Tap We sang it!, then tap the last letter of your song. The next team starts with that letter.
Most points wins
Ten points a song, twenty on a theme turn. No song in time scores nothing, and the next team tries the same letter.
Good to know
One skip each
Each team can skip once in a game to get a new letter.
Theme turns
Every fifth turn names a theme, like old classics or songs about the moon, for double points.
No music, no lyrics
Antakshari on Khel ON never plays a song or shows its words, and it never listens or records. It just keeps time and score.
