How To Play
This in-store only game is easy to play. After locating your retailer of choice, you can see how easy it is as well.
First, you have to scratch the call letters to reveal 20 letters. With those revealed, you have to match each call letter with the corresponding letters in both of the Crossword Puzzles by removing the scratch-off material that is covering the matching letter.
If you scratch off 4 or more completed words sitting in both of the puzzles, you will win the corresponding prize found in the Prize Legend. The entire word has to be uncovered within the crossword puzzle, so every lettered square that is within an unbroken horizontal or vertical sequence has to be matched with a call letter to be considered a complete word. Unfortunately, words that are found within other words are not eligible for a prize.
If you have found a completely scratched off pink word, you will win the prize shown for that particular word. Words made that have shared pink letters are not considered full pink words. In this case, the entire word has to appear in pink to win the corresponding prize.
Bonus Multiplier: If you happen to win a prize and you also reveal a “1X” from the Bonus Multiplier area, your prize will remain the same. However, if you happen to win a “2X”, you will win 2 times the prize. The same goes for a “3X”, you will win 3 times the prize. This multiplier ranges from 1 to 5 times the prize amount.
