Urn It

How to Play

Hold the Wii Remote vertically.
Point at the image you want to select, and press A to confirm your choice.

Are you ready to earn your victory? In Urn It, you’ve got to be quick at identifying the correct patterns that are painted on a series of spinning urns.

Be the first player to correctly identify each urn’s markings to win the game!

Each game of Urn It plays out over three rounds. Watch as each urn tumbles and spins, then quickly point to the pattern you believe is correct and press A to lock in your vote. You get to make only one pick, so choose carefully!

Note

Each urn’s rotation slows over time, making it easier to guess correctly as time passes.

You’ll earn points even if you’re the last one to vote, so don’t be too hasty in making your choice; otherwise you risk guessing wrong and earning no points at all!

The first thing to look for is the general shape of each urn’s symbols—this helps you quickly weed out one or more of the false options.

Many urns have one or more lines painted around them as well. The placement of these lines in relationship to the urn’s other symbols can also help you weed out false options.

The patterns you may pick from are usually very close in appearance to one another, so wait to make your choice until you’ve eliminated all of the red herrings.

Each urn spins a little faster at the start of each new round, making it more and more challenging to quickly choose the right pattern as the game unfolds.

Eliminate those false options as fast as you can, and be quick with your picks to “urn” the win!
