How to play Clue Climb
As clue-giver, reveal one-word clues at your own pace — guessers score more for solving it in fewer clues.
Racing to shout the answer after just one or two clues, before anyone else catches on, is the whole thrill of a good round.
- As clue-giver, tap "Reveal next clue" to show the next hint
- As a guesser, type your guess as soon as you think you know it
💡 As clue-giver, don't reveal every clue at once — a fast correct guess scores you points too.
💡 As clue-giver, open with an oblique or unusual clue rather than the obvious one, since that keeps the early bonus points in play longer.
