Party Game
Cross Clues is a cooperative word-association game in which players try to fill a grid by connecting pairs of code words with clever one-word clues. Each row and column of the grid is labeled, and a code word is placed at each label. Every space therefore represents a unique combination of two code words.
Each player secretly receives a Clue Card showing one space in the grid and must give a single-word clue that relates to both code words at that location. There are no turns: whenever a player has a clue ready, they give it to the group. The other players discuss what the clue could mean and try to identify the corresponding row and column. If they guess correctly, the Clue Card is placed in the grid; otherwise, it is discarded.
The game ends when the timer runs out or when all Clue Cards have been played. Players then count the number of cards successfully placed and compare their result with the scoring scale for the chosen grid size. The goal is to fill as much of the grid as possible by developing a shared understanding of how the other players make connections between words.
