Players have to successfully complete activities in each of four sections to win: In – Creative Cat : A player must clue a word to his or her teammates by drawing it, sculpting it in clay, or drawing it with his or her eyes closed.
– Data Head : A variety of trivia questions.
– Word Worm : Players unscramble words, spell challenging words, guess definitions, identify words with letters left out, or spell words backwords.
– Star Performer : players must whistle a song, impersonate a celebrity, or act out a clue.
