CROSSWITS is a quick-thinking game in which teams compete head-to-head to solve crossword puzzles. Each turn is a race against the clock to try and solve as many crossword clues as possible before passing the timer to the opposing team.
Questions are taken from a variety of different subject areas with each game designed with all skill levels in mind. Puzzles are challenging enough to interest the expert but with lots of clues that allow the novice to actively participate. The first player or team to finish their puzzle wins the game.
“We are big crossword puzzle fans and this led to the development of the game,” say Joe Engemann and Blake Robertson, CROSSWITS inventors (see attached biographies).“It was our goal to develop a fast-paced, lively game for family and friends to enjoy.”
The game comes with game/puzzle cards, timer, pencils, stump chips and instruction guide. It is recommended for ages 12 and up and can be played with two or more players or teams.
