Objective

Work together to identify the word, saying or phrase represented by each clue. Earn points for correct answers and try to steal points when another team misses.

How to play

  1. Teams take turns. The active team gets the configured number of clues.
  2. A clue starts partly hidden and is gradually revealed during its 30-second timer.
  3. The host marks the answer correct or wrong. A letter hint can be requested once per clue.
  4. If the active team misses or time expires, the other teams can try to steal.
  5. Reveal the answer and continue to the next team's clue.

Scoring

A clue starts at 750 points and drops toward 150 as it is revealed. A letter hint deducts 100 points. A correct answer earns the current value; a steal is worth about half that value, with a 50-point minimum. Passing or skipping a clue awards no points.

Tips

  • Look for wordplay, symbols, placement and visual patterns—not just the literal picture.
  • Think of familiar sayings, idioms, titles and expressions.
  • Say a confident guess as soon as your team sees the connection.

Host tip: The Host panel shows the answer and the current choices. Keep it private, listen for a team's answer, then choose Correct or Wrong. A hint lowers the potential score, so use it only when the team asks.
