About the game
What you do in a play session
Ah, the 90s and their classics! Electronic Dream Phone is that game that made its mark, you know? The premise is simple and fun: you're one of the girls trying to figure out which of the 24 boys likes you. To do this, you'll use a real phone (yes, the one with a cord and everything!) to call the suspects' friends and gather clues about their clothes, sports, food, and favorite places. Each call is a chance to eliminate those who aren't your secret admirer. But beware! If someone plays a 'Speakerphone' card, everyone hears the clue. The 'Share a Secret' card gives you the chance to share the info with one friend. To win, you need to make the final call to your admirer and hear him say the magic words: 'You're right! I really like you!'. The cool thing is that the game is different every time, with varied clues and the secret admirer changing each round. It's pure nostalgic fun and deduction for everyone!
