About the game

Each round brings a new animated picture that hides a familiar saying, expression or title. A clock with wings, a cat holding a pigeon, a pig taking off: what's the phrase?

Teams compete to crack each one first, with bonus boards that slowly reveal a hidden picture as you solve the tiles in front of it.

It's fast, funny and easy for anyone to play, which makes it a brilliant warm-up or a whole session on its own.

What to expect

  • Rounds of original animated picture puzzles
  • Bonus boards that reveal a hidden phrase tile by tile

Questions

Do we need to know lots of sayings?

No. The puzzles are designed to be worked out together, with a mix of phrases that 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.
