Step Into the Fun with Square Mystery!

Welcome to Square Mystery, the game that keeps everyone on their toes—literally! Your mission? Collect the most Square Mystery Answer Cards by stomping your way to victory with a sneaker that’s full of surprises. Whether you’re matching action verbs, spotting opposites, or uncovering sticky gum, every turn is packed with laughter and learning!

 

What’s the Goal?

Outsmart your opponents and collect the most Square Mystery Answer Cards by matching them with your Rectangle Matching Cards—or landing on some very “special” squares for a surprise twist!

 

What’s Inside the Box?

This game is bursting with colorful cards and quirky fun:

• 80 Rectangle Matching Cards:
  • 20 Action Verbs
  • 20 Opposites
  • 20 Things That Go Together
  • 20 Functions
• 104 Square Mystery Answer Cards
• 12 Special Coin Cards (lucky you!)
• 8 Sticky Gum Cards (uh-oh!)
• 4 Stinky Poop Cards (ew!)
• 1 Sneaker with a Suction Cup

 

How to Play

1. Set the Stage:
Shuffle your cards and deal 3 Rectangle Matching Cards to each player. Place the rest in a draw pile. Spread the Square Mystery Answer Cards face down in the center of the play area. Youngest player grabs the sneaker to kick things off!

2. Take Your Turn:

• Use the suction cup sneaker to “step” on a Square Mystery Answer Card.
• Lift the shoe and see what you’ve landed on!
• If the card matches one of your Rectangle Matching Cards, hooray! Add both cards to your scoring pile and replace your matched Rectangle Card with one from the draw pile.

3. No Match?
Bummer! Flip the card back over and let the next player take a turn.

4. Special Squares:

• Coin Cards: Lucky you! Keep this card in your scoring pile for extra points.
• Sticky Gum Cards: Oops, you’re stuck! Flip it back over for someone else to (unfortunately) find later.
• Stinky Poop Cards: Yuck! Back it goes into the pile.

5. Keep Going:
The game continues until one player runs out of Rectangle Matching Cards.
