Read the full description
Word-Up! is a fast, noisy word gameshow for families. Two teams, each a grown-up and a little one (or one brave solo player), race to crack a hidden word on the Stage Screen in five goes. Pink tiles mean the right letter in the right spot, and yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot.
It starts with three-letter words, levels up to four, then five, and every level ends on a Word-Up word that grows by a letter in a big level-up moment: CAT becomes COAT. Stuck? Ask the Audience, play a Clue Card or take a Letter Drop.
Cracking a word quickly earns Power-Ups, and the team behind gets the big ones, so every family stays in it to the end. The leaders face the six-letter Jackpot Word for the big finish.
