BASIC GAME RULES
HearSay will say a word and ask you to
repeat it. (Remember to wait for the beep
before you repeat a word!). If you repeat a
word correctly, HearSay will add a new word
to the sequence. In multi-player mode, each
player will be asked to repeat the word
sequence.
GETTING STARTED
To turn the game on, slide the Off/Game
switch up and select:
Game 1 - HearSay (1-4 players) - Players
take turns repeating the word sequence.
Game 2 - Random HearSay (2-4 players) -
Players are called at random to repeat the
word sequence.
Game 3 - Team HearSay (2-4 players) -
Players collaborate to repeat the word
sequence.
SELECTING A GAME LEVEL
Once you have selected a game, HearSay will
ask you to “Choose a level.” To choose a
level, press the Player # • Level button to
scroll through the levels:
“Level One” - uses 3 of the 11 words to cre-
ate the sequences (pop, snap, fizz)
“Level Two” - uses 7 of the 11 words to cre-
ate the sequences (pop, snap, fizz, lumpy,
dusty, squishy, soggy)
“Level Three” - uses all 11 words to create
the sequences (pop, snap, fizz, lumpy, dusty,
squishy, soggy, enchilada, sarsaparilla, rutaba-
ga, alfalfa).
When you hear the level you’d like to play,
press the Start•Enter button to lock in your
selection.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS
Next, HearSay will ask “How many play-
ers?” To select the number of players, press
the Player # • Level button until you hear the
correct number of players. Press the
Start•Enter button to lock in your selection.
HearSay will confirm your selections: “You’re
playing Game One, Level One, One Player.”
SINGLE PLAYER MODE
In the single player mode, HearSay will say a
word and ask you to repeat it. Listen closely!
HearSay will say “Repeat after me: Fizz!
Now you say it.” Wait until you hear a beep
and then repeat the word: “Fizz!”
If you repeat the word correctly, HearSay will
add another word: “Repeat after me:
Fizz…Snap! Now you say it.” Wait for the
beep before repeating each word.
Example: Fizz, Snap, Enchilada, Squishy,
Snap - should be repeated as: (beep) Fizz,
(beep) Snap, (beep) Enchilada, (beep)
Squishy, (beep) Snap. You got it!
HearSay will continue adding words to the
sequence. When you make it to the end
without missing a word, you win by beating
your highest score.
MULTI-PLAYER MODE
In the multi-player mode, each player will be
asked to repeat a specific word or word
sequence. Listen closely.
HearSay will call on one of the players:
“Repeat after me: Lumpy! Now you say it,
Player Three.”
Player Three will wait for the beep and
repeat the word: “Lumpy!”
If the word is repeated correctly, HearSay
will call on the next player and add a new
word: “Repeat after me: Lumpy…Dusty!
Now you say it, Player One.”
Player One will wait for the beep and repeat
the word sequence.
The objective in multiplayer Games 1 & 2 is
to be the last one playing. If a player fails to
repeat the list, he/she is dropped from the
game while the remaining players continue.
The Winner is the last player left. Scores
are given for each player only as a refer-
ence.
Game 3 is a shared game. A score is given
to the team. However, players that fail to
repeat their word(s) are dropped from the
game. Please note: The third player must
wait until player 1 or player 2 has missed a
word.
REPEATING THE WORDS
If you repeat a word correctly, HearSay will
congratulate you: “You got it!”
WORD LIST:
Pop Dusty Sarsparilla
Fizz Squishy Rutabaga
Snap Soggy Alfalfa
Lumpy Enchilada

If HearSay does not understand your
response, it will ask you to repeat the word
again and offer suggestions: “Louder”,
“Softer”, “Say that again!”
If you forgot to wait for the beep before
repeating the word, HearSay will ask you to
“Wait for the beep”.
If you do not repeat the correct word,
HearSay will eliminate you in multiplayer
games: “You’re out Player One!” or end
the game “Game Over!” in single player
games.
HELPFUL HINT:
If HearSay incorrectly ends your game, but
you are sure you answered correctly, push
the Player # • Level button to skip the error
and continue playing.
GAME OVER
The object of HearSay is to repeat as many
words as possible. However, if you repeat a
word sequence of 100 words, you have
become a HearSay Master and the game
will end.
SCORING
HearSay will announce your score with
“scoring” sound effects and flashing lights.
For example: For 1 point scored, the game
plays a sound effect and flashes green. For
10 points scored, the game plays a different
sound effect and flashes red.
NEW GAME
To begin a new game at the same level and
same number of players, press the
Start•Enter button. Otherwise you will need
to move the Off/Game switch to another
game and back again to reselect level and
player options for the game.
SLEEP MODE
HearSay will automatically go to sleep
approx. one minute of inactivity. Press any
button to wake the game and resume play-
ing.
