Context Clues Game

™

Ages 7+

For 2–4 players

Contents

Detective briefcase, 50 Question cards, 40 Hint cards, 16 Game pieces

Objective

Answer context clue questions and be the first detective to solve the
mystery on the card.

Setup

• Take the briefcase and put it in the center of the play area.

• Place the stack of question cards next to the briefcase.

• Without looking, each player chooses a type of game piece
(magnifying glass, flashlight, footprint, fingerprint) and places all
four pieces in the center.

• Without looking, each player chooses a “Hidden Hint” card from
the stack of hint cards in the box.

• Place the cards in a compartment of the briefcase. Then, put one of
your game pieces on top of your hint card. Close the briefcase.

How to Play the Game

• The youngest player goes first.

• Take a question card and read it aloud. Say the answer and check it
with the answer key found on the back of this guide. If the card
doesn’t contain a question, follow the direction on the card.

• If you answered correctly, take one of your game pieces and place it
in front of you. Return the card to the bottom of the pile. It is now
the next player’s turn.

• If you answered incorrectly, your turn is over.

• Play continues until a player collects all three game pieces.

• When a player has collected three game pieces, he may trade them
in for a hint. (The three game pieces will be collected again to
receive another hint.)

• Place the three game pieces back in the center.

• Ask the player to your right to open the briefcase and read aloud
the first hint from your card.
