Ten minutes of set-up before anyone arrives. After that, your entire job is lifting cards and handing out candy, which is the easiest job at the party.
Washi tape is in the box. Wall or table, either works. Shuffle the numbered cards and lay them over the squares out of order — 1 next to 19, 7 next to 3. Number-side up, and that’s the SPRRAD™ way — a tidy 1-to-24 grid lets guests read the rows, a mixed-up one gives nothing away.
02
Hide the SPRRAD cards
Secretly, under three different numbers. Nobody knows where they are, whether they're in play, or why you're smiling.
03
Guests call two numbers
You lift both cards and read them aloud. Match — they win the candy and the pair stays open. No match — cover them up and pass left, ideally with sympathy you don't mean.
04
One turn each, until all 12 pairs are found
Everyone gets a turn per round, match or not. Usually 20 minutes. Someone will insist they had it and be wrong.
EPICC · STAASH · PSYCHHE
The SPRRAD cards turn ordinary matches into prizes, steals, and pranks.
You only win one by making the match it's hiding under. Turn it up on a failed turn, and it goes straight back — card and all — for somebody else to win later.
EPICC
Safe forever
Rip into your prize right now! It’s yours forever — nobody can PSYCHHE it away. Brag accordingly.
STAASH
Valuable but vulnerable
A wrapped prize that’s yours—for now. Keep it sealed until the game ends. You just sit there guarding it like a squirrel with trust issues.
PSYCHHE
The prank
Pick your prank: heist all the candy from one player, or steal the STAASH prize. Use it within three rounds, or it expires — and if there’s nothing left worth stealing, it goes bust, and you look silly.
That's the tension: EPICC is safe for good, STAASH is yours but stealable, and somewhere in the room there might be a PSYCHHE with three rounds to use it and your name on it.
The two prizes
You wrap them. Nobody else knows what's inside.
Two gifts arrive in the box, unwrapped, so you can wrap them however you like. Once they're wrapped, you're the only one who knows what's in them. Watch the room lean in.
You decide which prize goes to which win. One goes to whoever finds EPICC and gets torn open on the spot. The other becomes the STAASH — sealed on the table with somebody's name on it, in full view, stealable until the last pair is found.
Which prize goes where is entirely your call.
