About this game

Cross Clues hands your group a grid of hidden code words and ten minutes to fill in as many as you can, working together with clues that only make sense at the crossing point of two words. Say a clue for just one word and you might send everyone guessing wrong; nail the intersection and the whole grid opens up. Thousands of word combinations keep it fresh, the rules fit on the inside of the lid, and it plays fast enough to squeeze in three rounds before anyone gets tired of thinking sideways together.
