Object of the Game
Players race to slide and rearrange the tiles on their Sliding Puzzles until they have created a continuous red line connecting 2 green squares. The length of the line does not matter, as long as the green squares are connected. When they are done, players need to perform a silly action to win cards. The first player to collect 10 cards wins the game.
The Challenge Cards are double sided. Pictured on one side of the cards are the silly actions that players need to complete before they win a round, and pictured on the other side of the cards are the challenges used in Version 2 of the game.
Examples of actions: Pretend to look for something important! Pretend you are dancing in a ballet! Cover your eyes and look scared!

Playing a Round
- Flip the top card and place it next to the pile, challenge side up.
- Have everyone slide 2 of the tabs on their puzzles so that they match the green squares on the border of the flipped card. The puzzles are square, so it does not matter which direction they face as long as the green squares are in the same locations as those pictured on the card.
- When everyone is ready, begin the race to create a clear train of thought! Slide the tiles and think quickly to find a way to connect the green squares on your puzzle with a continuous red line.
- For an added challenge, one or two small gear wheels are pictured on some of the cards. To win the round, you must not only create a continuous red line on your puzzle, but also make sure the wheels are in their pictured location.
- Once you have successfully connected the green squares, do your best to perform the action pictured on the card at the top of the pile. The first to finish their puzzle and carry out the action wins 3 cards, the second wins 2 cards, and the third wins 1 card.
