The game is played much like the TV game show. We cut triangles out of posterboard,wrote the clue on one side, and pinned them to a bulletin board in the shape of a triangle. One team chooses a triangle by the clue. The Emcee then tells what the category is actually about. It is timed. We found they needed about a minute as they got almost no answers in 20 – 30 seconds. Each of the two teams (we used father/daughter teams) gets 3 sets of clues since there are 6 clues on the bulletin board. The team with the most points (one point per correct answer) moves on to the speed round. The clues the players give each other are printed on 3 x 5 cards with holes punched in the upper left corner of each and a brad inserted to hold them all together. To do the speed round we had the answers on triangles that were pinned to the bulletin board in the shape of a pyramid. We had a larger red triangles (also cut from posterboard)pinned over the answers. They were removed to reveal the next clue as the contestants got the answers right. The prizes were 100 Grand candy bars.
