About the Game

Help Wanted is an adult party game in which players compete against each other to see who can provide the best solution for another player’s problem. Help Wanted includes a lot of different problems to solve ranging from the ridiculous to the apocalyptic. To solve these problems, players will have over 400 different solution cards, for a grand total of over 500 cards. Add in the human elements of interpretation and presentation and the possibilities are infinite!

With similar party games you find yourself playing one artless card, face down, in secret while a judge chooses their favorite and leaves you wondering about their logic when your card was (clearly) the best choice. You find yourself arguing your point and explaining that everyone else is (clearly) dumb, but the decision has already been made. Bummer!

With Help Wanted you still want the judge to choose you, but you have the opportunity to weave together a short narrative to state your case by combining up to three different Solution Cards and wooing the judge with your keen intellect.
