Learning Resources EI-8920 manual freezing up, it can be worth it

It’s easy to freeze up when the timer is ticking! If you get stuck,

don’t lose your cool. You have OPTIONS!

Press the New Category button for a new category with the same letter (for example, “Name a flower, letter T”).

Press the New Letter button for a new letter with the same category (for example, “Name a sport, letter B”).

Pressing either button results in a 3-second penalty, but if you’re

f you disagree with a player’s answer, challenge it. However, you can only challenge the player

immediately before you. For example, Player 1 says a word and presses STOP. Player 2 disagrees with Player 1’s word choice and, on his turn, presses the CHALLENGE button. The timer is stopped while the rest of the players discuss the challenged word and vote to accept or reject it. The majority rules. In case of a tie vote, the challenged player presses the Challenge Button again to start his turn over with a new category and letter.

If the group votes to ACCEPT the word, the

challenger presses the Word Accepted button. The challenger loses five seconds from his or her remaining time.

If the group votes to REJECT the word, the

challenger presses the Word Rejected button. The challenged player loses five seconds from his or her remaining time.

Note: In the case of a two-player game, players may consult a dictionary or encyclopedia to check the challenged word.
