The game starts in a child's play room. There are 3 storage boxes, each with a word or phrase beneath it. Clicking on a box plays the speech. Teams take it in turns to drag their coloured block into the right box. If the answer is correct, a point is added to their score. If incorrect, the block returns to its starting position and the team lose a point. Switch between teams using the Next team button. A target score is set at the beginning of the game and the first team to reach it wins the game.
