What it is

In Number Line, every guest has an empty line of slots. Everyone is dealt the same numbers one at a time, and each number must go in a slot that keeps the line in order.

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

Set it up

Choose the points for each number placed, the bonus for filling your line, and how long players have for each number.

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

The first number

Every guest has their own line of empty slots. The TV shows the number just dealt, and every guest is dealt the same one. Your line must read from smallest to largest, from left to right.

Place it in a slot

Tap a slot to put the number there. The phone only lets you tap slots that keep the line in order, and once a number is placed it never moves.

More numbers

The next number is dealt as soon as everyone has placed the last one, or when the time runs out. Every guest is dealt the same numbers, but each places them differently, so the lines on the TV end up different. A guest who is slow is placed automatically in the first slot that fits, so a missed tap does not knock anyone out. If a number has no slot left that keeps the line in order, that guest is out.
