Funstruction Zone
Ever watched someone give a perfectly good explanation while everyone around them comes up with answers from another planet?
Welcome to Funstruction Zone!
Join TJ for a battle of clues, questionable explanations, and wildly creative guesses. Two clue givers will try to get their teams on the right track, but whether their clues actually help or leave everyone more confused is anyone's guess. Expect brilliant deductions, spectacular misfires, and at least one moment when you wonder how anyone got that answer from that clue!
Think your team can figure it out? Let's find out!
Setup and Gameplay
- The room will be divided into two teams.
- Each team will have one designated clue giver.
- Each round lasts three minutes.
- Clue givers alternate turns between teams, trying to get their teammates to guess the phrases provided by the host.
Scoring
- Each correctly guessed phrase earns 2 points.
- If a team guesses the phrase at the buzzer, they earn 5 points and trigger the Bonus Round.
- If a team fails to guess the phrase before time runs out, the opposing team earns 5 points and gets a 30-second steal attempt worth an additional 2 points.
- The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
Bonus Round
- All points are doubled.
- The team that triggers the Bonus Round has one minute to guess as many phrases as possible.
Clue Giver Rules
Clue givers may NOT:
- Say the word “not,” including contractions such as “wasn't,” “couldn't,” and “wouldn't.” This prevents arguments about the use of “not” and its contractions.
- Say any part of the word.
- Rhyme with the word.
- Indicate the number of syllables.
- Use acronyms.
- Give numeric hints (e.g., “the number after 3”).
- Give alphabetical hints (e.g., “the letter before B”).
- Reveal the first letter of the word.
- Use opposites of the word.
Other Rules
- For multi-word phrases, you may indicate the number of words and choose which word to describe first.
- If a word has been correctly guessed, you still cannot say that word, even when giving clues for the remaining words.
- If multiple players answer and one is correct, you may confirm the correct player's answer by saying their name.
- Plurals are allowed, but other forms of the word are not.
- If a player guesses the wrong form of a word, you may prompt them to try a longer, shorter, or alternative form.
