About the game

What is Password Express?

You and your friends have found an old computer in the attic with lots of clues and notes. Will you be able to decipher all the passwords that protect it before the time runs out? In Password Express, the players are divided into 2 teams. Each round is played with 4 themes having each a letter associated with them. Teams must find out words of that topic that have the letters in a given position. Turns will happen frantically until all positions are occupied with checkers or both teams pass their turn without discovering any new words. At the end of four rounds, the team with the most points wins!
