How to play

1. 01

   Read the names

   Each game starts with 12 last names split into Column A and Column B.

2. 02

   Make a pair

   Tap a name in Column A and one in Column B whose people share a first name, like George.

3. 03

   Flip for a hint

   Press and hold a name to flip it for a hint about that person, at a 30-second time penalty.

4. 04

   Avoid three misses

   The game ends after three wrong guesses, and each wrong guess adds 30 seconds.

Good to know

• Real or fictional. Names can belong to real people or fictional characters.
• Spelling doesn't matter. Geoff matches with Jeff, for example.
• Watch for traps. Many notable people share the same last name, so plan ahead.
