Crossword Clash

What it is

In Crossword Clash, teams take turns answering clues to fill a crossword. Every word uncovers part of a master answer that a team can gamble on.

Add it to your show

It is one step in your Rundown, like any other game. Add it where you want it to play.

1. Open the Rundown tab and press Add.
2. Choose Crossword Clash from the menu. It joins the end of the list and opens on the right.

Set it up

The settings hold your words, one per line: the answer, a bar, and its clue. The grid is built for you from words that share letters.

Type a master answer with a hint. Choose the points for each letter, what a right master answer pays, what a wrong try costs, and the turn timer.

The Sounds tab picks the sound effect for each moment of the game.

The grid and the clues

The TV shows the crossword, the across and down clues, a row of blanks for the master answer, and each team's score. The team that is up is highlighted.

Pick a clue and answer

On a team's turn, a player taps a clue on their phone, types the answer, and submits it. A right answer fills the word into the grid, scores for each letter, and the team keeps the turn.

The master answer

Each solved word uncovers some of the master answer on the TV. A team can try for it at any time. The earlier it is right, the more it scores, and a wrong try costs points, so choose your moment. A wrong answer or a pass moves the turn to the next team.

Your controls on the Live tab

On the Live tab, Start begins the game, Answer a clue and Mark solved play a clue for the team that is up, Try the master answer tries it for them, Pass moves to the next team, and Reveal everything ends the game and shows every answer.

Tip The same keys are on the Host Remote, so you can run Crossword Clash from a phone or tablet.
