How to play

🔤 Word Arena

Guess 10 hidden four-letter words in 15 minutes. Each word gives you the first letter and 5 tries. After every guess the letters are coloured:

• Green ✓: right letter in the right place
• Yellow ◐: the letter is in the word but in another place
• Grey ✕: the letter is not in the word

Each word you get is worth 200 points, up to 2,000 points for all 10. Stuck? Ask the host for a 💡 hint: a clue about the word (for BIRD it might be “I can fly”), but that word then scores half (100). You can use up to 5 hints per game. You can also pass a word. When the clock runs out, the game ends.

📦 Mystery Boxes

20 closed boxes each hide a TikTok gift, from a small one up to the day's top prize. Nobody can see inside, not even the host. Call out box numbers one at a time to knock those gifts out of the game. The top prize is up to 2,000 coins. Mystery Boxes is always free to book.

From time to time the Banker calls with an offer. Say DEAL to take it and end the game, or NO DEAL to keep opening boxes. If you never take a deal, you win the gift in the last box standing.

🔎 Clue Hunt (in Mystery Boxes)

Before each box you can answer a quiz question. Get it right and you earn a clue about where the best prize still in play is hiding, like “It's in an EVEN-numbered box” or “It's in the TOP row”. Boxes the clues rule out are crossed off on screen. Five right answers can lead you straight to it!

🏁 Pursuit Challenge

A quiz race for two players, Blue against Red. The host shows the prize before the race starts. Each player has a ladder of 10 rows on the live screen.

• Open Play on a second phone, logged in to your account. That's where you answer.
• Each question has 4 answers (A, B, C, D). You have 15 seconds to tap one and lock it in.
• The live screen shows who locked in first and how fast. The answer is shown when the host reveals it.
• Every right answer moves you one row down your ladder. The 10 questions are 6 easy, 2 medium and 2 hard, from all walks of life: animals, space, food, sport, music and more.
• The first to reach the bottom wins the prize.
• If you both reach the bottom on the same question, it's SUDDEN DEATH: more hard questions until one of you is right while the other is wrong.

Playing alone? Get 10 right within 15 questions to win the prize.
