Product Description

30 Second Mysteries, a cross between Trivial Pursuit and Clue, is one of those infectious games that bring out the best (and the worst!) in people. The rules are simple: Two teams go head-to-head to solve a case drawn from history, science, entertainment, contemporary events, or a fictional mystery. The case is presented on a card printed on both sides that poses the problem and contains two questions at the top. Below is a separate set of clues for each team. In each round, players on one team reveal a new clue, answer questions from their set of clues, and ask questions about the other team's set. The team that dares to solve the mystery first wins a point if they're right, or gives a point to the other team if they're wrong. 30 Second Mysteries tests common sense and common prejudices, but the real test will be the players' ability to keep a straight face when describing Mount Rushmore as a place where "famous people are always seen together, even though some have never even met." The box includes 144 mystery cards, a timer for each round, a card stand, magic notepads and pens, and two translucent mystery windows for reading the hidden answers. 30 Second Mysteries is for two or more players. --Patrick O'Kelley

Great game for the classroom, grades 4+. Kids really sharpen up their skills in listening and out-of-the-box thinking. Excellent prep for standardized tests!
