Official Perfection Rules

This post contains affiliate links. For more information, see our disclosures here.

Here are the official rules for Hasbro Gaming Perfection, the fast-paced shape-matching game:

Components:

  • Game unit with a timer and pop-up tray

  • Set of 25 geometric shapes with handles

  • Storage compartment inside the game unit (optional)

Objective:  Be the first player (or the fastest player in solo mode) to fit all 25 shapes into their matching holes in the tray before the timer runs out.

Getting Ready:

  1. Place the Shapes:  Scatter the 25 shapes with their handles facing up next to the game unit.

  2. Set the Timer:  Turn the timer dial clockwise until it reaches "0."

Go Time!

  1. Start the Timer:  Slide the switch on the game unit to "START."

  2. Match and Fit:  Quickly use your hands to grab the shapes and fit them into their corresponding holes in the pop-up tray.

  3. Watch the Timer:  The timer will start counting down. You need to fit all the shapes in before the timer runs out.

Two Possible Outcomes:

A. Finishing Before the Timer:

  • Stop the Timer:  If you successfully fit all 25 shapes into their holes before the timer runs out, quickly slide the switch on the game unit to "STOP."

  • New Time to Beat:  The number the arrow is pointing to on the timer dial becomes the time to beat for the next player (or yourself in solo mode).

B. Not Finishing Before the Timer:

  • Pop Goes the Perfection!  If you don't finish fitting all the shapes before the timer reaches zero, the pop-up tray will spring up, scattering the shapes all over the tray!

  • Original Time Remains:  The timer automatically resets to the original starting time (usually 60 seconds) for the next player's turn.

Solo Play:

  • If you're playing solo, simply try to beat your own best time each round!

Winning the Game:

  • The player (or player in solo mode) who successfully fits all the shapes in the holes before the timer runs out in the fewest tries wins the game!

Additional Tips:

  • Observe and Strategize: As you play, pay attention to which shapes take you longer to find and fit. Try to prioritize those shapes in subsequent rounds.

  • Quick Thinking and Dexterity: Perfection is a fast-paced game that requires quick thinking and good hand-eye coordination. The more you play, the faster you'll become at identifying and placing the shapes.

  • Practice Makes Perfect (Pun Intended!):  With practice, you'll be a Perfection pro in no time!

This should give you a clear understanding of how to play Hasbro Gaming Perfection. Have fun and enjoy the challenge!
