Правила игры:
Команды ходят по очереди. Право первого хода предоставляется команде, которая первая правильно ответила на вопрос разминки. Команда выбирает категорию. Всего четыре категории: «Guessing Game (Sights and Places)», «Music Box», «Literary Club», «Matching (Famous and Interesting)». Цена вопроса зависит от цифры внутри фигуры из выбранной категории. На игровом поле есть 4 вопроса, их цена неизвестна. Её можно узнать, только открыв вопрос.
Вопрос обсуждают две команды, но право на первый ответ имеет только команда, имеющая право хода. Ответ может дать и другая команда, если он отличается от ответа ходившей команды (кроме вопросов верно/неверно). Символом вскрывается правильный ответ, командам присваиваются очки. За правильный ответ очки прибавляются, за неправильный – отнимаются. Если команда не даёт ответа, количество очков не меняется. Дальше ход переходит к другой команде.
Игра заканчивается, когда открыты все фигуры. Побеждает команда, набравшая большее количество баллов.
