Install 3 AA batteries according to the instructions on page 7. Then take a few minutes to get familiar with Freeze Up’s features.

t the beginning of the game, players each have 60 seconds. As the timer ticks down during his or her turn, a player must

name something in a specified category (such as fruits) that begins with a specific letter (such as P). The faster a player responds, the less time deducted from his or her allotted time. As the categories and letters keep coming and players’ time runs out, they are eliminated. The last player in the game with time remaining is the WINNER.
