How to play Word Rescue
- A hidden word appears on the TV with a bunch of balloons.
- On your turn, pick a letter or guess the whole word.
- Wrong guesses pop a balloon.
- Solve it before the last balloon goes. Shouting suggestions is allowed!
Word Rescue swaps the old drawing for colourful balloons, so it feels right for every age. Players take short turns on an on-screen keyboard while the rest of the room shouts ideas. Play competitively for points per letter, or as one team where everyone shares the score. Words come from childhood, animals, countries, food, school and movie night.
