Eggcellent Guess

About the Game

Everyone knows your word. Except you.

Eggcellent Guess is a party game for you and up to 11 friends. On your turn a word pops up on your egg's headband: the whole room can read it, you can't. Ask questions, listen to the clues (and the laughing), and type your guess. The right word stops your stopwatch; the lowest total time at the end of the match wins.

How a match goes

• Every egg takes a turn each round, with a fresh deck for every round.
  
• Ask anything out loud: built-in voice chat, push-to-talk or open mic.
  
• Stuck? Hit the buzzer to pass, at a cost.
  
• The match ends with a finale in the show kitchen. The winner does the cooking. Everyone else is the eggs.

Or grab the chalk: Doodles

A second game for the same room. Take turns at the chalkboard drawing a secret word while everyone else watches it appear on the big screen and races to type it. The first right guess scores the most, each one after it a little less, and the artist scores for every egg who gets it. Mix any colour you like, pick your brush size, fill, undo and start again.

Or get Scrambled

A third game, where everyone plays at once. Write something silly and pass it on. The next egg draws it, the next guesses what the drawing shows, and so on round the room. Then the big screen plays every chain from start to finish, so everyone can see exactly where it all went wrong. Close guesses score, and your golden egg goes to the best page.

Words for every group

• 41 decks and over 4,600 words: everyday life, food, animals, places, movies and games, sports, music, fantasy and more.
  
• Slip your own secret words into the hat for your friends to guess.
  
• Paste in your own word lists and save them as decks.
  
• After Dark decks for grown-up groups, off unless the host turns them on.

A lobby worth hanging around in

Between matches the island is a playground: knock the giant egg piñata open, dance on the light-up floor, set off fireworks, blend a smoothie that shrinks (or supersizes) the whole room, wallop the wobbly egg, ride the spinning cake stand, kick the watermelon, race the obstacle course to the bell and get your best times on the records board.

Dress up your egg

Colours, patterns, shoes and accessories (capes, little wings, shades, a moustache and more), shell finishes and faces, with six saved looks so you can switch in a click.
