About This Game

Cooperative word game. Give one-word clues to help your partner find secret agents.

How to Play

  1. Lay out 25 word cards in a 5x5 grid
  2. Each player gets a key card showing which words are agents and which are assassins
  3. Your key cards are different — some agents for you are assassins for your partner
  4. Take turns giving one-word clues with a number
  5. Partner guesses by touching cards:
  • Correct: mark it, keep guessing
  • Bystander: turn ends
  • Assassin: you both lose
  1. 9 total turns to find all 15 agents
  2. Work together — communication is key but limited to single words
