Publisher Description:
It should be easy to name 3 breeds of dogs - but can you do it under the pressure of 5 seconds twisting down, and with the other players staring at you, waiting for you to get flustered? Time's not on your side, so just say what comes to mind and risk ridiculous answers slipping out as time twirls down on the unique twisted timer! It's all in good fun with this fast-paced game where you have to "Just Spit It Out!"
In Know It or Blow It, your team will test its knowledge about fun facts like the three primary colors, five senses, or Santa's eight reindeer. The best part is you don't have to know it all! For each round, a team captain picks the order that teammates will respond. If you know an answer, great! If you're not absolutely, positively sure, you can stop rather than risk your team's points. But if you answer incorrectly and blow it, your team loses its points for the round. Get ready to show off your knowledge in this trivia game for teams.
