Playing CrossWire
Each CrossWire game consists of
two rounds, the CrossWire round
and the HighWire round.
In the CrossWire round you will play
three out of the four categories, try-
ing to match nine pairs of clues be-
fore time runs out. Every time you
correctly match a pair of clues you
will win points, but every time you in-
correctly match a pair of clues, you
will lose points.
If you win 2500 points or more, you
will go on to the HighWire round. In
the HighWire round you will play only
one category, where you must match
the eight correct pairs of clues be-
fore time runs out, while avoiding the
fake clues (also called bombs).
If you can successfully match the
clues, you will win big points and fun
prizes.
