Released paddles snap shut onto the central hub, where they're designed to overlap to easily determine who answered first, second, and so forth. The first person with a correct answer earns a point, marked off on the arm of that player's paddle. If nobody gets the correct alphabetic answer, nobody scores. Players then unfold their paddles, use tissues to wipe off their answers, and do it all over again. The first person to earn ten points wins the game.
Players take turns as quizmaster, passing the box clockwise after each question.
A die roll indicates which of the 5 questions to ask. Rolling the sixth face of the die lets a player skip his turn as quizmaster. For these, players try to guess the quizmaster's personal answer. Since you don't need the correct answer, just the closest answer, obscure trivia questions are actually more fun than the easy ones. And when everyone knows the answer to an easy question, the race to write it down and release your paddle first is exciting.
