(bright music)
- Hey, I'm Penn. - And I'm Kim.
- And thank you for buying our game, Family Faceoff.
- If you hate to read instructions
but wanna know how to play the game,
you've come to the right place.
- Okay, first things first, divide into two teams.
- We're a family of four, so it's two versus two.
- Yeah, but if you have three people, it works as well.
You just designate one all-time player.
That person will play for both teams.
- Next, find the four decks of cards labeled,
"Guess It, Act It, Find It, and FACEOFF."
Lay them all face down in the middle, so everyone can reach.
- So the team with the youngest player gets to go first.
They are Team One.
Team One flicks the spinner to get the first category.
- All the categories are timed-
- Not all of them. - Just FACEOFF, not timed.
But anyway, the other categories are timed,
so don't forget to flip the timer,
or if you're using the Family Faceoff app,
(app beeps) start the timer here.
- When time runs out, it is Team Two's turn
to try the same category.
When both teams are done,
tally both scores and round one is fished
- It is Team Two's turn to spin for the category.
That means Team Two will go twice in a row.
It's a snake format.
- One, then two, two, then one,
one, then two, two, then one.
- You'll get it once you play, I promise.
- If you do fantasy drafts, you're super familiar with this.
- No, it's fine, you're gonna get it.
- The first team to 20 points wins,
or if you're feeling extra competitive,
you can do the first team to 40 points.
- You can use your own paper or on the app,
there's a way to keep score.
To get a taste of Family Faceoff in the four categories,
Penn and I are gonna try out a few for you here.
- First up is, Guess It, okay, in this category,
your team has to guess the missing word
to a well known song.
I will be singing it,
and the missing word will be represented by "blob,"
and you gotta tell me what "blob" is, right?
- Okay. - Okay, here we go.
♪ We don't, blob, blob, blob, blob, blob, blob, blob. ♪
- We don't talk about Bruno. - (bell rings) Yes!
- For the record, you don't have to sing.
I just kinda speak the lyric,
but if you have a good voice, it's like karaoke.
- Or a bad voice, just commit.
- Next up is Act It. It's like fast paced charades.
I'm going to act it out.
You're gonna guess, and the point is to get as many,
remember, in a minute, ready? - Yep.
Ride a motorcycle.
Rolling A pizza.
Oh, rowing a boat, (bell dings) rowing a boat!
Okay, Kim, time to get moving.
This is the Find It category.
I'm gonna read a clue out, Kim has to go find it, touch it,
and yell out what it is before I go onto the next clue.
- It's like a scavenger hunt.
- You ready? - Yep.
- Okay, I'm gonna stay here.
- Okay. - All right, here we go.
Find something that is cold, something that is cold.
- My hand's now touching ice.
- (bell rings) Good, very good, okay.
Find something that is smaller than your foot.
- This (toy drumming) weird musical instrument we have.
- (bell rings) Find something that starts with the letter P.
- Penn, does that count? Oh wait, hold on...
A pan. - [Penn] Is that a pan?
- It's a pot. - Okay! (laughs)
(bell rings)
Good job, babe. (hands slap) You're good at that.
- I am good at that. - You're good at all these.
- I know, if the spinner lands on Faceoff,
you choose either a physical or a mental Faceoff.
- So the physical one, each team picks a participant
for this category, and these can be pretty fun.
- For example, "Who can spin around 10 times
"on their bottom the fastest?"
- Let's find out! - Ready, set, go.
(quickly counting) I got to ten!
(Penn sighs)
And we're back, by the way,
for Faceoff categories, you get three points.
- And if you don't wanna spin on your butt,
you can pick the mental challenge.
These are also worth three points.
There's a category on this card. All players are playing.
You name something in the category, until repeating,
until just one person is left standing.
This mental Faceoff is, "Types of Fruit."
- Easy. - Okay?
Kiwi. - Apple.
- Mango. - Banana.
- Papaya. - Strawberries.
- Pear. - Grapes.
- Banana. (buzzer buzzes)
- I already said banana. - I know.
You can't repeat it. I'm out, which means...
- My team gets three points. - That's right.
Remember that was just the two of us.
If it's four people, everyone gets a crack at this
until there's just one person's standing.
So that's it, that is the gist of Family Faceoff.
Remember, when you're keeping score,
each card has a point value in the upper right column,
so you can keep track.
- If you wanna get really fancy,
you can download the free Family Faceoff app.
There's even a fun audio message at the end when time is up.
- [App] (timer ticks) Squirrel!
(Penn and Kim laugh)
