Cross Clues^*

Cross Clues is a cooperative word game from Blue Orange in which you describe the intersection of two code words in a grid with a single clue word. For 2 to 6 players aged 7 and up, 5 to 10 minutes – a party game that fits in any jacket pocket.

How it plays

A grid of code words lies on the table: one row across, one column down. Each player secretly draws a coordinate such as "B3" and must describe with exactly one word what links the two words at that crossing. If the team guesses right, the space is filled. The goal is to fill as many spaces as possible before time runs out – against the timer, not against each other.

Who is it for?

Fans of Codenames and Just One looking for an even quicker filler. The simple rule makes it family-friendly, and the word pairings lead to surprisingly creative clues.
