About this board game

Fun Facts is a team-based party game for 4–8 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. Across eight rounds, players answer surprising questions and work toward a shared score by arranging their answers from low to high.

Each round begins with a question placed in the center of the table, such as “How long is the perfect nap?” Everyone secretly writes an answer on their colored arrow, then places the arrow face down. The reverse side shows the player’s name, so everyone can identify their own arrow.

Players then take turns positioning their arrows in relation to the answers already on the table. You must judge where your answer belongs without yet knowing the other players’ numbers. Once every arrow has been placed, the starting player may move their own arrow—without touching anyone else’s.

  • Secretly write an answer on your colored arrow.
  • Place arrows in ascending order, from low to high.
  • Reveal the numbers and remove every arrow that is out of order.
  • Score one point for the team for each arrow that remains.

Every arrow left in the sequence represents a correct answer and contributes one point to the entire team. After the eighth round, record the result in the Record of Legends and see how close you came to a perfect score.

With its simple writing and ordering system, Fun Facts turns personal guesses into a shared challenge of judgment and comparison. Can your team place enough answers correctly to achieve a perfect score?

Fun Facts is a cooperative party game that tests how well you know the other players.

Each turn, secretly answer a personal question with a number. Players will try to place their answers in ascending order by predicting how everyone else answered. Then reveal them to find out your score.

After 8 questions, write your final score in the Record of Legends and try to beat your high score the next time you play!

Contents

  • 195 cards
  • 8 Arrows
  • 8 erasable markers
  • 1 Star
  • 1 Record of Legends
  • 1 rulebook

  • Shuffle the cards Setup step 1 and then place 8 in a facedown pile on the table. Put the remaining cards back in the box. They won’t be used during this game.
  • Give each player an Arrow Setup step 2 and a marker Setup step 3 in the matching color. Each player writes their name on the Arrow, pointing up. The other side (blank) is called the Answer side.
  • Choose a player who takes the Star Setup step 4 in front of them; they are the first player.

The game plays over 8 turns, each one with three phases:

  1. Answer
  2. Place
  3. Reveal

1. Answer

The first player draws a card and reads the question out loud.

Then all players write, simultaneously and secretly, their own answer on the Answer side of their Arrow. You must always write a number, sometimes followed by a unit (second, feet, year, etc.). Some cards require an answer between 0 (the least) and 100 (the most), as indicated in their lower-right corner Scale 0 100.

During this phase, you cannot share any information about your answer with other players.

Important: If the card is not applicable to your group, feel free to set it aside and draw a new card from the box.

2. Place

The first player places their Arrow in the middle of the table, Answer side down.

Then, starting with the player to their left and going clockwise, each player places their Arrow in relation to the other players’ Arrows, still Answer side down. To decide where to place your Arrow, you must predict the other answers and where yours falls in line.

You can therefore place your Arrow:

  • Above if you think your answer is the highest.
  • Below if you think your answer is the lowest.
  • Between two Arrows if you think your answer falls between two players.

During this phase, you cannot share any information about your answer with other players.

After all players have placed their Arrows, the first player can move their own and only their own, if they want to.

Then continue to the “Reveal” phase.

3. Reveal

Flip over all the Arrows one by one, starting with the lowest, to reveal everyone’s answers.

Then remove any Arrows that were placed incorrectly to make an increasing line, from the lowest to highest number (ties are always considered correctly placed, see example below). If there are multiple possibilities, choose which Arrows to remove.

Gain 1 point per correctly placed Arrow, then the first player writes the score on the Star. For all following turns, add your score to the one from the previous turn.

Finally, the first player gives the Star to the player to their left. This player now becomes the first player and a new turn begins.

Example: In a 5-player game, reveal 5 Arrows. The 30 Arrow or 50 Arrow is incorrectly placed, so you remove one of them from the line. Now you have an increasing line of 4 Arrows, from 20 to 60. You gain 4 points for this turn.
