•Some questions might have a point of view that leaves them open to a wide range of speculation as to exactly what they mean. That’s also par for the course. One player might interpret the question one way while another might see it in a whole different light. Just give your best answer and cross your fingers. Remember, this game isn’t about right or wrong answers; it’s about sharing embarrassing secrets in front of sweethearts, friends, and strangers.
The number of questions asked in a game varies. Some games ask more than others. Further, if there is a tie at the end of regulation play, the game will be extended. In some games, players will be eliminated as the game goes on.
Controlling the Handset
Answers are entered using the handset. Depending on the game being played, different rules govern the use of the handset.
•If you’re playing The Perfect Couple, Find A Mate, or Opposites Attract, have player 1 take the handset for question 1. After he enters his own answ the other players tell him the answers and he enters them into the game. When question 2 appears, he passes the hand
to player 2. This process rep each turn with handset being passed from player to player after each question (not each answer).
•If you’re playing Dream Date, give the handset to the player selected as the Dream Date. He will enter

his own answer and then ask the other players for theirs until an answer has been entered for everyone. The Dream Date keeps the handset for the entire game.
•If you’re playing Know Your Mate, the handset will be passed between the odd numbered players each turn. These players will enter the answers for the couple they’re a part of. Thus, when the first question appears, player 1 enters his answer, and then asks his partner (player 2) for an answer. After entering his partner’s answer, he passes the handset to player 3. Player 3 repeats this process for himself and his partner then passes the handset to player 5, and so on.
Results Screen
After The Perfect Mate, has accumulated all the information it needs to determine the winning couple, the Results Screen will appear. Depending on the game you were playing, the information presented here will vary a little bit. If you where playing The Perfect Couple or Opposites
Attract, for example, the game will show the two players it thinks are most (or least) compatible. If you’re playing Dream Date, you already know who one of the winning couple will be, so the only surprise is who has been paired up with him or her.
