Holiday Rush Party Rules

The original Holiday Rush Rules are for 2-6 individual players. Holiday Rush can be played with more than 6 individual players, but these party rules may be used when playing with groups of 7 or more.

1. Create from 2 to 6 teams and enter the team names into the Setup Page on the Holiday Rush Timer App. Teams may include 2 or more players. There could be 2 large teams or 3 or more smaller teams.

2. Enter a winning point total of 30-50 points depending on the desired length of game. Games between 2 teams could be played in a best of 3 series.

3. Set the “Fast” timer to 8 seconds and “Slow” timer to 16 seconds. These times can be adjusted if needed.

4. Follow the original Holiday Rush rules with the following modifications:

Acting:  If the spinner lands on “Fast” a team member acts out the character/object (without verbal cues) while other team members guess the ornament. Once guessed correctly, one team member attempts to find the ornament on the Christmas Tree before time runs out. Time starts when the acting team member looks at the card. Team members that are guessing should not see the card.

Drawing: If the spinner lands on “Slow” a team member draws the character/object while other team members guess the ornament. Once guessed correctly, one team member attempts to find the ornament on the Christmas Tree before time runs out. Time starts when the drawing team member looks at the card. Team members that are guessing should not see the card.

Team members take turns drawing/acting or guessing/searching.

Two teams compete against each other when the spinner lands on “L”, “A”, or “R”.
