How to play
With Alias, players take turns trying to explain words to their teammates without using the actual word. Sounds easy, right? Well, think again! The catch is that you only have a limited amount of time to make your team guess as many words as possible.
Whether you’re a wordsmith or simply love a good challenge, Alias has something for everyone. It’s not just about knowing the right words; it’s about coming up with creative ways to describe them. From abstract concepts to everyday objects, Alias will put your communication skills to the test.
For every correct answer move forward one space, for every wrong answer move backwards. The space you are on will dictate which word on your card you need to explain. A stealing space means that all teams can guess on the next word. The first team to arrive in the middle of the board wins the game.
What age is it suitable for?
Suitable for ages 10 plus as it does involve a bit of lateral thinking and younger than that will probably struggle.
How do you use the AR element?
Using the Zappar app scan the lightening bolt code on the included card. Then scan one of the word cards, a picture will appear. Describe the picture without using the name for the other players to guess. Your device counts the score.
