WARNING! Choking hazards can occur with pieces in this game!

2-6 PlayersAges 5 and up

Getting Started:Pick a game board piece and place it at the starting point. To determine who’s first, everybody spins the spinner. Whoever spins the highest number on the spinner goes first. The player with the next highest number goes next and so forth. Place the trivia cards on the board on the trivia cards spot. Now put a smile on your face and start spinning the spinner!

Crossing Pictures:If you land on a picture during your turn, you must remain there for the rest of that turn. DO NOT go to the next space after the picture. If you do, you are doing a part of your turn you are NOT supposed to do. The next piece after the picture has great information that you can only learn if you land on that spot.

How to Play:A player’s turn starts out when the player spins the spinner to see where his/her game board piece will end up. When the spinner lands on a number ,go forward that many spaces. If it says go back this many spaces, do it. If the spinner lands on the -2 you go back 2 spaces. It is important to follow the directions when this happens. If you land on an infographic or a movie, open it up and read or listen and watch the interesting information. If you land on the secret passage on any side, slide your game board piece to the opposite end of the secret passage. Do not go to the next square.

Trivia Cards

When somebody lands on a trivia cards spot the person to the player’s right draws and reads the card aloud to the player. After the player guesses, the person reading the card gives the answer in the bottom right hand corner. The trivia cards have questions from all five regions, so you could get a question about any part of the United States.

How to Win

Whoever slides their game board piece to the Finish spot first wins the game. If someone is three spaces to the finish line and the person spins a five, the person has to go past the finish line and to the space on the right of the second secret passage. That is the end of that person’s turn. If you’re five spaces from the Finish spot and you spin a five, you win because you spun the exact number you are away from the finish line. However, after a person has won the game, each player gets one more chance to win the game. To see who’s first, second, and third place at the end of the game see how close the player is to the finish line.
