Setup

1. Shuffle the Puzzle Cards and place them in the draw box in the center of play.
2. Form teams consisting of at least two people per team.

Object

Players draw 2 card sets per round containing 8 puzzles. Teams take turns solving their puzzles. 1 team member reads the clues and teammates try to guess the name of the famous person or group described. The fewer clues needed to guess the answer, the higher the score earned. All clues start out very general (worth 20 points) and get more specific (15 points, 10 points, 5 points) as players move through to the last and most specific clue worth the least number of points. If all 4 clues have been read and the team still has not guessed the answer to the puzzle, no score is earned and play moves on to the next puzzle. The round continues until each team has gone through all 8 puzzles on the two cards drawn and scores have been tallied. A new reader for each team now draws 2 more cards and play begins again for another round.

Be the first team to earn 300 points and win the game!

Playing the Game

6. Reader notes each score earned on the Score Pad. If players guess on the 1st clue, it's worth 20 points. If a correct guess comes on the second clue, the score earned is 15 points. If players don't guess until the last clue, the score is 5 points.
7. If your team guesses correctly or all 4 clues are read without a correct guess, move to the second puzzle on the card. If that puzzle is also guessed correctly or all 4 clues are read with no correct guess, turn the card over and read the first puzzle on that side and then the next puzzle until all puzzles on both cards drawn for the round have been played.
8. One guess per team member per clue given. No stalling allowed!
