Play Image Reveal on the Big Screen
Use Image Reveal to turn any activity with pictures into a guessing game. Each picture is hidden behind a jigsaw on a card table. The pieces go down one by one, and your residents call out what the picture is as soon as they know.
Start a Game
- Open any activity that has pictures
- Click Play, then Image Reveal
- Choose None to play as one group, or 2, 3 or 4 teams and give them names
- Click Let's play!
To play another way, click More options before you start. Under Pieces choose Called out or A few at a time, and under Piece size choose Big or Small. The game remembers your choice for next time.
Big pieces make a 12 piece jigsaw, which is easier on the eyes. Small pieces make a 24 piece jigsaw, which keeps everyone guessing a little longer.
Two Ways to Play
Called out. This is how the game starts unless you change it. Every piece of the jigsaw has a big number on it. Your residents call out a number, you click that piece, and it turns over to show part of the picture. In a team game the teams take turns to call, and the team whose turn it is has a gold ring around its score. If nobody minds which piece comes next, click Add a piece. It works in from the edges, so the middle of the picture is saved for last.
A few at a time. Click Add pieces and a few pieces go down at a time, starting at the edges and saving the middle for last.
How to Play
Call it out. If your activity has a question or a clue for the picture, it shows on a card beside the jigsaw. Residents can call out their answer whenever they like. Nobody is ever wrong for having a guess.
Show the answer. Click Show answer as soon as somebody gets it, or when all the pieces are down. The rest of the jigsaw falls into place and you see the whole picture, with its name and a little about it.
Say who got it. Click the team that called it first, or Nobody. The sooner a team gets it, the more points they win, because the points go down by 10 as the pieces go down. A finished jigsaw is still worth 10 points, and nobody ever loses points.
Then click Next picture.
Handy for Hosts
On a keyboard, type the number a resident calls to turn that piece over, or press the space bar to add a piece. When the pieces go down a few at a time, the space bar adds pieces. When every piece is down, press Enter to show the answer. Then press a team's number to give them the points, or 0 for Nobody, and the space bar for the next picture.
Gave the points to the wrong team? Click Change who got it, under Next picture.
Running out of time? Finish the game, at the bottom of the screen, takes you straight to the scores.
Closed the game by accident? Open it again within 12 hours and click Carry on to pick up where you left off.
Playing with one group instead of teams? Choose None next to Teams and everyone plays together, just for fun, with no points.
The sound is on when you start. You can turn it off with the speaker button at the top.
