How to Play ReFraze

In ReFraze, players guess a refraze based on a category and a clue. For example, 'The spirit of the Metropolitan' with a hint like 'Lon Chaney' leads to 'The Phantom of the Opera.' Players have 30 seconds to solve each refraze.

How to Play Refraze

Objective:
The goal of Refraze is to correctly guess the original phrase, song title, movie, or saying that has been creatively reworded. Be quick—each round is timed, so think fast!


Setup:

  1. Shuffle the deck of Refraze cards and place them in a stack.

  2. Decide on the game mode:

    • Solo Play: Try to guess as many Refrazes as possible within the time limit.

    • Team Play: Split into teams and compete to see which team can guess the most Refrazes correctly.

    • Travel Mode: One player reads the Refraze aloud while others guess.
       

Gameplay:

  1. One player draws a card and reads the Refraze aloud. (Example: "Tiny Melody Bird" → Answer: Small Singing Canary → Tweety Bird.)

  2. The other players or team members try to guess the correct phrase before the 30-second timer runs out.

  3. If the answer is guessed correctly within the time limit, and without a hint, the guessing team or player earns  10 points.

  4. If the answer is guessed correctly within the time limit, and the guessing team uses a hint, the guessing team or player earns 5 points.

  5. If no one guesses correctly, the card is set aside, and the guessing team or player loses 5 points.

  6. Play continues until a predetermined number of rounds or points are reached.
     

Travel Mode Gameplay:

1. The passenger covers the hint and answer with the cover card and asks the refraze.

2. The driver tried to guess the Refraze aloud.

3. At the next stop the driver and passage switch car positions and the game continues.

Note: the driver should never be distracted from driving and never take their eyes off the road.  The passenger should be the only one to read the refraze.

Winning the Game:

  • The player or team with the most correct answers at the end of the game wins!

  • For an extra challenge, mix and match different category packs to test your skills across various themes.
     

Tips for Success:
✅ Think outside the box—some Refrazes are trickier than they seem!
✅ Say it out loud—sometimes hearing it differently helps!
✅ Work as a team—brainstorm with your group for better chances of guessing correctly!
