What was the last thing said
• It helps to read aloud the question again before the answers are revealed. • Read ALL of the answers before the roller starts guessing ‘who said what’.
After hearing ALL of the answers, the roller must FIRST pick his/her favorite answer, and THEN guess which player wrote which answer. • Players WAIT to reveal their answers until AFTER the roller guesses every answer. This is the most important rule! Name:
• Players should be discreet when answers are read aloud. You may give the roller an easy guess!

What question would you like
The first player to EITHER place all five of their chips on the board OR three of their chips in a row on the board (vertically, diagonally or horizontally) wins the game!
For more awkwardness, check out...
• Two players can win at the same time if the roller and the player who wrote the favorite answer play their final chip on a single turn.
NOTES ON PLAY And for the best in creative game play, visit... • There are NO right or wrong answers. Just write neatly! • I f the die keeps landing on the same number, simply choose any question from the Roller’s Menu. • D o not be too specific with your answers. You may give the roller an easy guess!
Featuring the bestselling line of Loaded Questions® games (Made in the U.S.A. • 1,000,000+ Sold!)
• T o help remember the answers on your turn, you can request to hear the answers again and/or write key words on the back of your answer sheet. • T here is no time limit...but try not to take all day when writing and/or guessing answers! • TEAM PLAY: If more than six people want to play the game, simply have players form teams of two. • T he numbers on the answer pad do not correspond to the numbered questions. When writing answers, simply start in the first space and continue in order. • In the unlikely event you placed a chip on an open space and the photo card for that space is played on a later turn, your chip will get bumped off the board if you are the roller or if you don’t write the roller’s favorite answer. • E ncourage everyone to bring their own family photos the next time you play Awkward Family Photos!
