Practice runs can be replayed. The daily game is designed for one scored run per player, with a sponsor break before route planning and the timer.

02 / HOW TO PLAY

Six guesses to the bottom

Aim for all six correct. Among players with the same number correct, the fastest adjusted time wins.

  1. 01

    Plan a route

    Before starting the clock, scan all 21 tiles for the Photo and Word markers. The first tile is shared. After each guess, choose one of the two tiles directly below you.

  2. 02

    Read the clue

    Pick one of four answers. You can see both obscured previews at each fork. An extra reveal on your chosen tile adds five seconds to your time.

  3. 03

    Finish the board

    A wrong answer earns an × and you keep going. Make one guess in each of the six rows. Your score counts correct answers first, then adjusted time.

  4. 04

    Share your result

    Download a card with your score, time, reveal count, and the path you took. The card keeps the clues and answers hidden.

The six ways a clue can be hidden
