- One player writes a value word in capital letters (Example: PEACE) on the back of his partner, using his finger, without uttering the letters.
- His partner tries to identify the word by focusing on the letters being written on his back
- He may be given two more chances if unable to identify correctly at the first chance.
- Scores could be 5 points or 3 points or 1 point depending on the chances availed of.
- Partners switch roles and take turns, being the ‘writer’ and the ‘guesser’.
