The game starts with a grid of 20 picture cells from a selected topic. Teams take it in turns to specify a picture number then name or describe that picture in the target language. If the class decides the language was acceptable, the team can click on the picture to claim that cell. When a team gets 3 of its symbol in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally, they win that round. The language (speech and text) for a picture is available by clicking on the question mark.
