About the game

Each picture on screen hides a well-known saying, film title or Halloween favourite. A ghost holding a cup of tea, a pumpkin running a marathon, a bat at a bus stop: what phrase is it really showing?

Teams race to crack each one in a series of themed rounds, with bonus pictures that reveal a bigger hidden phrase if you can solve enough of the tiles in front of them.

Quick, light-hearted and easy for anyone to join in, it works brilliantly as a party warm-up or a whole session on its own.

What to expect

Bonus boards that reveal a hidden phrase tile by tile

Questions

Do we need to know lots of sayings?

Not at all. The pictures are designed to be worked out together, and the mix of phrases suits every age.

How does a hosted virtual game work?

Everyone joins your usual video call. We split the group into teams of up to 10, each in its own breakout room with a dedicated host who shares the game on screen and types in the answers the team agrees on. A live leaderboard keeps the competition going.

How far ahead do we need to book?

At least 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. Same-day sessions are sometimes possible on request: book as usual and we will confirm as quickly as we can.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

There is no maximum. The minimum booking is £150 + VAT, so groups under 13 people pay the minimum.
