Spymaster

Two spymasters give one-word clues to lead their teams to their secret words, without touching the other team’s or the trap.

The clue

Everyone else, look away from the screen now.

On each spymaster’s phone, open Family Fun, then Spymaster, then I’m a spymaster, and type:

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” Proverbs 25:11

Split into two teams and choose a spymaster for each. The spymasters sit together, facing their teams.
Only the spymasters see the key: which words belong to each team, which are bystanders, and which one is the trap.
On your turn, your spymaster says one word and a number, like “Ocean, 2”. The word links some of your team’s words; the number says how many.
Your team talks it over and taps a word. Your colour? Keep going. A bystander or the other team’s word? Your turn ends.
You can guess one more than the number, or stop early with End our turn.
The first team to find all their words wins. Touch the trap and your team loses at once!

Enter starts guessing and reveals the chosen word. E ends your turn, K shows the key.
Arrow keys move around the board; Space chooses a word.
