About this board game

Haiclue is a word-clue game for 2–12 players with a 30-minute play time, offering competitive play for 3–12 players and cooperative play for 2.

In each round, every player receives 15 random word tiles. Four words are placed in the center of the table, and each player uses their tiles to create a clue for one of those four words.

Once everyone has finished, the clues are read aloud to the group. Players then try to identify which of the four central words each clue describes, turning every handmade clue into a guessing opportunity.

  • Use 15 random word tiles to create a clue.
  • Choose one of four words in the center of the table.
  • Read the clues aloud and guess their intended words.
  • Score points for correct guesses and for clues others identify.

Scoring rewards both sides of a successful clue. A player who guesses correctly earns one point, while the author of that clue also earns one point.

Haiclue supports a competitive format with 3–12 players, while two players can work together in cooperative play. Released in 2019, it combines random word tiles, clue creation, and group guessing in a compact 30-minute game.
