How To Play Halloween Outburst

1. Divide players into two teams. Each team will take turns guessing answers.

2. Team 1 selects a card and reads the category aloud to Team 2. When the timer begins, Team 2 tries to guess as many answers as possible related to that category within 60 seconds.

3. Team 1 marks off correct answers from the list on the card.

4. Each correct answer is one point. Teams earn one bonus point if they guess all six answers on the card.

5. After the time is up, the next team takes their turn.

6. Continue playing until all cards are used or a set number of rounds are completed.

7. The team with the most points wins!

Helpful Tip: Only answers listed on the card score points, so encourage players to think fast and shout their guesses quickly.
