1. In Tilt Brush, make sure you are in Advanced Mode.
2. Go to the Menu panel (below your palette) and select "More Options..." > Labs > Tiltasaurus.
3. The player wearing the headset will see a card with a word or phrase to draw. 
4. The player who is not wearing the headset will see a category displayed on the computer desktop, but will not see the word or phrase on the card.

7. Adding Tiltasaurus.json to the Documents/Tilt Brush folder will let you add your own list of words.
