LET’S PLAY
1. Press ON/OFF you will see the WELCOME screen and will hear the theme music. If you
do not want to hear the entire theme, press ENTER.
2. The screen will display, "Number of Players?" Use the RIGHT or LEFT arrow to scroll
through the number of players. When the correct number of players is showing on the
screen, press ENTER.

5
If you choose 1 PLAYER, you will be Player 1 and the computer will be Player 2.
If you choose 2 PLAYERS, you and a friend will be Player 1 and Player 2. The computer
will be Player 3.
If you choose 3 PLAYERS, there will be no computer player.
3. Once you have entered the number of players, the screen will display ROUND ONE,
then Player One, then the game board. The game board consists of 16 numbered
squares. The cursor will be on square 1. You will be able to identify the location of the
cursor by the solid outline of the square.

6
5. As in step 4, use the ARROW keys to choose your second numbered square.
6. After both squares have been chosen, the screen will display the two square numbers
with their associated words. The squares will be displayed based on the order in which
they were chosen, NOT by the square number. In other words, the first square number
chosen will appear on the top, the second square number chosen will be on the bottom.
NOTE: Since you need to know which words are behind which numbers to make
matches, this is an important fact to remember!
4. Use the ARROW keys, to move the cursor to the numbered square you want and press
ENTER. The square will change to a dark background to indicate that it has been
chosen. The word associated with that square will be displayed. The unit will return to
the game board. Between choices, the cursor will go back to square 1 OR the first
available square if square 1 has been chosen.

7
7. If the words do not match, you will hear a buzzer indicating that your turn is over. The
screen will display the number of the player whose turn it is. Press "P" at any time during
the game to determine whose turn it is.
8. If the words do match, you will hear a bell and the unit will display the MATCH screen.
The two matching squares will disappear and part of the picture puzzle will be revealed.
9. Because you made a match, you earn points, you keep control of the board AND you get
the opportunity to solve the puzzle.
NOTE: Only the player who makes a match gets an opportunity to solve the
picture puzzle.
A) If you do not think you can solve the picture puzzle, wait for the cursor to reappear on
the game board and then choose more squares.

8
B) If you think you can solve the picture puzzle, press ENTER before the cursor
reappears on the game board. This will bring up the solve screen. You have 20
seconds to type in your answer using the KEYPAD. Once you have finished typing
your guess, press ENTER.
If you need to view the picture puzzle again, use the UP and DOWN arrows to toggle
between the puzzle screen and the solve screen. At 15 seconds on the timer, the unit
will beep to warn you that have only five (5) seconds left. At 17 seconds on the timer,
if you are still in the puzzle screen, the unit will automatically return to the solve
screen.

9
If you solve the puzzle, you will see the WIN screen. The unit will display the points
scored in the round and you will move to the BONUS ROUND, which will be
explained later.
NOTE: You do not win additional points for solving the picture puzzle.
If you do not solve the puzzle, you will hear a buzzer and the screen will return to the
game board. You maintain control of the board, and get to choose a new pair of
squares. This is true whether you made an incorrect guess, or simply ran out of time.
10. If the player who makes the last match is unable to solve the picture puzzle, each
remaining player is given the opportunity to solve it, in order of player number.
NOTE: THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO COMPUTER PLAYERS

10
11.When the entire puzzle has been revealed, the round is over. The unit will display the
points earned for each player during the round. It is possible to win the round even
though you were not the one to solve the picture puzzle.
12. If no one goes to the BONUS ROUND, the unit will display ROUND TWO and the player
number who starts the round. The winner of the first round starts the second round.
13. Round Two is played in the same way as Round One. Points earned in Round Two are
added to the points earned in Round One.
14. When the game is over, the unit will display the total points earned by each player. The
winner is the player who has the most points at the end of two rounds.
15. To play again, press ENTER

11
BONUS ROUND
The Bonus Round is an opportunity for the player who solved the picture puzzle to win
additional points.
1. The screen will display the Bonus Round game board, which consists of 12 numbered
squares and a 45-second timer.

12
2. There are six (6) pairs of symbols hidden behind the numbers. Your goal is to match all
six pairs before the timer runs out to win extra points.
3. Matches are made by using the ARROW and ENTER keys, just like in Round 1 and
Round 2.
4. If you match all six pairs, you win the BONUS ROUND and earn extra points. These
points are added to your cumulative score.

13
5. If you don't match all six pairs, you will hear the buzzer and see TIME'S UP on the
screen. When the timer runs down to 5 seconds, the unit will beep to indicate that you
are almost out of time. If time runs out, you do not win any extra points.
SCORING
There are two ways to score points. The first way is to make matches during regular rounds of
play. The second way is to win the Bonus Round. You do NOT win points for solving the picture
puzzle.
In Round One, each match is worth 100 points.
The Bonus Round for Round One is worth 1000 points.
In Round Two, each match is worth 200 points.
The Bonus Round for Round Two is worth 2000 points.
You can check your score whenever your player number is displayed on the screen by
pressing ENTER.

COUNTDOWN (TIE BREAKER) ROUND
If there is a tie in points between any players, a Tie Breaker Round is played to determine the
winner. Only the players with tied scores will participate in this round.
NOTE: If there is a tie between a human player and the computer player, the WIN goes
to the human player, and NO COUNTDOWN ROUND is played.
1. The unit will display the player number whose turn it is, then the 16-square game board.
2. The round begins the same as Round One and Round Two. Players try to make
matches and solve the picture puzzle.
3. Once four (4) matches have been made, if the picture puzzle has not been solved, the
unit will start revealing the picture puzzle. Every three seconds, one square will be
revealed. As soon as a player thinks he can solve the picture puzzle, he presses
ENTER.

screen. When the player sees his player number he presses ENTER.
