How to play Peak Hour

  1. A new DJ each setEach set, one player is the DJ and gets 3 secret tracks with energy from 1 to 5. The first set is a house warm-up.
  2. Build the floorThe crowd moves from cold to warm to groove to peak. Too much energy too soon keeps it cold.
  3. Watch for burnoutAt peak, high-energy tracks back to back raise the risk that the crowd burns out.
  4. Everyone else makes a callThe other players call PEAK, BURNOUT or SAFE before the drop. Riskier calls score more when they are right.
  5. Most points winsPoints add up over the sets, and the player with the most wins.
