Each box on the attached sheet is a clue, you need to work out what each means.  

more of a cryptic puzzle this one

I have no idea what the questions are...  How does this work?

If you click on the thumbnail olive, then you will see alot of boxes, with clues in each one.

For example (sorry for giving the answer to this one, but giving it so that people can understand this type of puzzle) the answer to #4 is 'read between the lines'.

Hope this helps.

I reckon these games should be below General discussion. Just a thought.

Cool. Thumbsup.

I was just thinking, about this game in particular.
I've played this before, but 'live'...with real people, at home.
Everyone gives the answers to the ones they know, then there are often ones that haven't been answered, and therein lies the 'fun' of trying to figure them out. Alot of the answers are easy, but alot can be hard.

I think it needs the interaction with the others, otherwise it feels a bit pointless?? Anyone agree or disagree??

For example...and these are purely randoms, to show what I mean..

1. break a leg
2.
3. overrule
4.
5. due date
6. all together
5. 6 pack
6.
7.
8. Mind over matter
9. above all else
10.

So, then those answers can be c&p to a new page, like so...and add more answers, like here, that I've done in bold

1. break a leg
2. forever in my heart
3. overrule
4.
5. due date
6. all together
5. 6 pack
6.
7. cat in a box
8. Mind over matter
9. above all else
10.
