About Xarpiklu
Xarpiklu is a lively Maltese word and reaction game where players spin the wheel and draw a card. The card challenges them to say words or short phrases that fit a specific category. The twist? They must answer quickly, and they only have 30 seconds to get it right.
If you hesitate or repeat an answer, you’re out of the round. Quick thinking, creativity, and confidence are the keys to success.
Simple to play but full of energy, Xarpiklu guarantees laughter from start to finish.
