About the game
The game of quick thinking and fast talking! It should be easy to name 3 animals found in a zoo - but can you do it under the pressure of 5 seconds twisting down and with the other players staring, waiting for you to get flustered? Time is not on your side, so just say what comes to mind and risk ridiculous answers slipping out as time twirls down on the spiral timer. There are opportunities to 'duck' the questions or inflict 'pain' on your opponents by use of the SWITCH or PASS ON cards. Contents: 90 Question cards (180 questions) 6 PASS ON cards 6 SWITCH cards 1 Spiral timer 1 Set of rules
