Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Pull a card and try to figure out the historical, fictional, or celebrity names your teammates are clueing you into in this fast-paced guessing game!

Split the players into teams of two. One player draws a card and holds it to their forehead without reading it. Their teammate picks one of the five names on the card and tries to help their partner guess it as quickly as possible within one minute. If they get the right name fast, they can continue with the other two names on the card or take a new card and continue to play. After one minute, play switches to the next team. The team with the most correct answers wins!

Celebrity meets Heads Up! in this raucous team game which is perfect for players of all ages! So many names (250 to be exact!) keep the guessing going. Fun for the whole family.

The compact format lets you take the game anywhere! These petite tins are perfect for slipping into a purse or pocket for on-the-go fun.

This game is part of the After Dinner Amusements series, a collection of tiny tins filled with family-friendly prompts for exploring and engaging with the world around you.
