Skill – Complexity
This is a very simple game to play as it only requires players to answer questions.

Set Up – Playing Rules & Instructions
The game consists of a board, 8 colored pieces, 25 Phever challenge cards, 25 Phact or Phiction cards, 150 yellow Phun Phacts question cards and a die.
Play begins with a roll of the die and the player moves the number of spaces that corresponds with the number on the die. If they land on a yellow step, they’re asked a trivia question where they can use the smartphone……
The first player to answer the question correctly then takes control of the die and can either choose to play with a select category or all categories.
If players land on a red step, they cannot use their smartphone but they are asked a Phact or Phiction question. If they answer incorrectly, the die moves to the left…….
Should they land on a green phone step, a green card is drawn and that contains a challenge which is read out to the person who matches the die number. They have to use their smartphone during this part and the player who completes the challenge first takes control of the die.
The first player to make it around the board and finish in the Phone shop wins the game.
