Lasercut Components: • 16x16 game board • 40 airport code tiles • 40 unlock code tiles • 154 secret item cards • 54 attribute cards • 4 secrets holders • 20 question tiles • 40 possibility markers • 4 dry erase boards • 4 dry erase markers • 12 coins valued 1-3 points. Initial Setup: Assemble the game board. Give each player a secrets holder, dry erase board, dry erase marker, 10 question tiles and 10 possibility markers. Shuffle the attribute cards and place face down in a draw pile. Place the coins face up, nearby. Basic Round Preparation: Shuffle the three sets of secret tiles. Carefully slide one number tile, one airport code tile and one item tile face down to each player. Each player places their secrets holder over the three tiles and flips the holder over such that tiles are facing outwards. Each player will now see the holders of the other players but not the contents of their holder. Game Play: Players take turns to either Flip over an attribute card or Ask a question or Attempt a guess. Flipping an Attribute Card: When the card is revealed, all players report what is shown on other players secrets holders. Here are some examples: If the attribute is “METALLIC” and a player’s holder has the “TRUMPET”, then tell that player they have lost a metallic item. If the attribute is “Airport on ISLAND”, and a player’s secret holder has “Trinidad”, tell that player their location is on an island. If the attribute is “CITY A-F”, and a player’s secret holder has “ORD - Chicago”, tell that player their city starts with a letter between A and F. Asking a Question: A player may ask a general question about one of their secrets. Asking a Question: A player may ask a general question about one of their secrets. This includes narrowing down the locker number and non-specific questions like “Can I hold my item?” or “Would my item cost less than $20?”. If you think you know what your item or location is, attempt a guess instead. Marking Possibilities: Place your possibility markers on items, locations and numbers you think match the answers to questions. For example, if someone tells you’re your item is green, place the markers on the green items. When you find out your item is round, remove the markers from items that are not round. Use a process of elimination to narrow down your secrets. Attempting a Guess: A player may attempt to guess one of their secrets by using one of their question tiles. The tile is placed on either the airport code, locker number or item. If the guess is correct, they, highlight it on your dry erase board. Otherwise, discard the question tile as it cannot be reused in this round. A player who guesses all three secrets will get the next highest value coin. Up to three players can receive coins per round. For example, the first player to guess correctly will receive the coin with the value "3". Winning the Game: The player who has the most coin values at the end of three rounds is the winner. In case of a tie, the youngest player wins.
