EYES/NEW GAME – Press this button to turn
the unit ON. This button will also allow you to
answer “YES” to a question or prompt. To start a
NEW GAME, press and hold this button until the
unit clears and a new game begins.
NO – Use this button to answer “NO” to a question.
SOMETIMES – Press this button to answer “de-
pends” or “maybe” to a question or prompt.

irrelevant or if the answer is “UNKNOWN.”
UNDO – This button will allow you to change
your previous answer by going back to the prior
question.
SOUND – Press this button to turn the sound ON
or OFF. A high tone indicates when the sound
is ON, and a low tone indicates when the sound
has been turned OFF.
SCROLL BUTTONS – Use these two buttons to
move forward or backward through the first four
questions. Also, press the LEFT SCROLL button
to increase the speed of the scrolling text, and
press the RIGHT SCROLL button to slow it down.
RESET – If the game begins to malfunction,
insert a blunt point and press the RESET button.
This action will RESET the game to its original
settings.
SLEEP MODE – After 60 seconds of inactivity,
the game will automatically shut down, going into
SLEEP MODE. To turn it on again, simply press
the ON button and the game will start where you
ended play.
LET’S BEGIN
Although you won’t win, I’ll tell you how to play
anyway!
Press the ON button to turn the unit on or to
wake the unit from SLEEP MODE. To start a new
game, press and hold the NEW GAME button
until the current game clears, and then I will ask if
you are READY to play. If you’re ready, press the
YES button and think of anything related to TV.
I will ask you a series of questions before I guess
what you’re thinking. However, I will always
begin with the same set of questions: Are you
a Person, Place, Thing or Unknown? There are
two ways to answer the first four questions.
First, you can answer each question with YES
or NO. Or, you can toggle between these four
questions by pressing the LEFT SCROLL or
RIGHT SCROLL buttons to identify the question
that is correct and answer YES.
When I ask the remaining questions, answer
honestly by pressing one of the answer
but tons (YES, NO, SOMETIMES, UNKNOWN). If
you answered a question incorrectly, press the
UNDO button to return to the prior question and
change your answer. I will try to guess what you
are thinking before I have asked 20 questions.
However, I may ask you a total of 20 questions.
At this point, I will try to guess what you’re think-
ing. If I guess correctly, press the YES button. If
for some strange reason I guess incorrectly, I will
ask you five more questions then guess again.
When I correctly guess what you are thinking, I
win! If all my guesses are wrong, you win. But
don’t worry - that will never happen.
Good luck! You’re going to need it!
