About the Game
The simple act of reading a book will never be the same after you play this game. Inventors Matthew Moore and Luke Nalker created this wildly inventive twist to a popular activity that takes the phrase “Read between the lines” to a whole new meaning. We all know that books are filled with rich imagery but who knew that they could be the source of so much fun. We’re sure you’ll come up with some great prompts in addition to the ones we’ve created. Send us your ideas and we may include them in a future edition!
