Cranium CONGA Instructions

ON YOUR TURN
Think of an answer
that you can get
the other players
to guess. Write it
down on the secret
pad. Don’t let anyone
see your answer!
Draw a card from the deck to
see which of the four Conga
activities you will do. Read
the whole card out loud
to the other players. See
the rules on the back page
for each type of activity.
1
Start the activity. Follow the
rules on the back page to
help the other players guess
your answer.

Close the cover on the
secret pad to start the
Conga timer. Pass the
Conga timer to the
player on your
left. This person
is the first
guesser.

The first guesser makes one guess and hits the green guess button. After
each guess you’ll say whether the guesser was right or wrong. If that guess is
wrong, the guesser quickly passes the Conga timer to the
next player. Players keep guessing, hitting the guess
button, and passing until someone guesses
The timer is random. It might
correctly or time runs out.
stop after just ten seconds, but it could

go for as long as a minute. So guess
quickly before the timer goes off!

SCORING
If Somebody Guesses Correctly...
Stop the Conga timer by opening the secret pad.
Collect your scoring tiles. You and the person who
guessed correctly each win the number of tiles
shown by the scoring lights on the Conga timer.
Now your turn is over.
The player to your left goes next.
WINNING
GUESS
If Time Runs Out...
If it’s your turn, you don’t score, and the player
holding the timer when time ran out doesn’t
score, either.
All of the other players win one scoring tile for
staying out of trouble!
Now your turn is over.
The player to your left goes next.
More Guesses = More Tiles
As the number of guesses goes up, the
number of tiles you can win goes up, too. So
when it’s your turn, try to think of an answer
that other players will be able to guess before
time runs out, but not on their first try.

If you fill your Conga scoring case with tiles, you win! Shout out “Conga!” and open your case so everyone can see. If two or more players
fill their cases on the same turn, all of those players win!
