If you're ready to break out Catch Phrase at your next game night but you've forgotten how to play, you've come to the right place. This fast-paced party game requires you to give clues that will get your team to guess the word or phrase displayed on the electronic game unit. With a correct guess, you can pass the game unit to the other team, but be careful—if the buzzer goes off while it's in your hand, the other team scores! Read on for more details on setup and gameplay, as well as strategies you can use to make sure your team comes out on top.
Sit in a circle of alternating team members so you can quickly and easily pass the game unit.
Give your team members verbal clues or physical gestures until they guess the word displayed on the game unit.
Pass the game unit quickly after a correct guess so the round can continue.
Organize your players into 2 teams.
It's usually going to work best if you have an even number of people playing, so you can have 2 teams with the same number of players. Otherwise, the larger team will naturally be holding the game unit more often and have more chances to lose the round.
While it's not required, it's a lot easier to pass the game unit quickly if you all sit in a circle alternating team members. No need to reach across the table or get the game unit to someone on the other side of the room this way.
You'll see "Team 1" and "Team 2" buttons on the game unit.
You definitely want to decide who's "Team 1" and who's "Team 2" before you start to avoid confusion later.
Check the batteries and wake the game.
Press the "Timer" button to start the first round.
When you're ready to start, give the game unit to whoever is going to be the first person giving clues. As soon as they press the "Timer" button, the game starts.
The second version of the game has a "Start/Stop" button rather than a "Timer" button, which functions the same way.
If you're playing with some people who've never played before, you might want to start with a practice round to loosen everybody up and get familiar with the flow of the game.
Give your teammates clues to help them guess the displayed phrase.
You can use words or physical gestures to get your teammates to guess the catch phrase. Get creative! Try to think of clues that would specifically appeal to the way your teammates think.
Think outside the box to come up with clues.
Remember, you're not necessarily trying to get your team to guess the catch phrase for its specific meaning—you're just trying to get them to say those words. Many words have different uses and definitions that you can play off of to get your teammates to say that word.
For example, if your catch phrase is "Black Friday," you might say, "the opposite of white" to get a team member to say "black." Then you could say, "end of the work week" to get them to say "Friday." Now all they have to do is put the words together!
Notice that with "Friday," you can't use the word "day," since that's part of the clue. For that reason, listing days of the week is also out.
You could even break up "Friday" and say "not baked but—" and then if they say "fried," say, "not night but—". Then get them to put those parts together. Just keep it moving.
Keep talking until your team guesses the displayed phrase.
