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

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
