Renowned mediums are competing to figure out a secret object and prove they can connect with the "World Beyond". 3--player winning team gets trophies and special prize packages from Resonym.
Description:
The mediums on a team share a hand of seven question cards, and the spirits begin the game by choosing one of the five objects on a card as the secret object. On a turn, the mediums pass two question cards to their spirit. The spirit discards one question card face up, then returns the question card it's going to answer to their mediums, then slowly writes the answer one letter at a time for all to see. As soon as the mediums think they know what this clue word is, they yell "Silencio", and the spirit stops writing. The other team of mediums might see only the letter "Y", but if you know the question is "What color is it?", then you know the clue must be "yellow". Enter with an existing 3-player team or form one onsite. Teams will play in 3 preliminary rounds; top scorers will advance to elimination play.
