Description
What does the common word for a shoe, a boot and a sandal start with? And what is in the middle of a spring? Vem! 4 is the fourth version of the popular game Vem!, which brings the excitement of a TV quiz show into your home. The rules are the same, and the booklet holds new crosswords. You solve them together letter by letter, and the answers are not as simple as they seem.
Our shop also has Vem! 2 and Vem! 3, which use the same rules.
How to play Vem! 4
One of you is the host: they place an empty crossword grid in front of the contestants and keep the questions and solutions in the booklet. For each letter, the host reads a short question, and the answer is always a single letter. Once the host has finished reading the question, you contestants try to be the first to grab the red ball from the box lid. If you answer wrongly or with a whole word, you get penalty points.
For a correct answer, the host places the tiles with that letter in the right spots in the crossword. Then you choose a word, the host reads you its clue, and you guess it. For a guessed word, you score as many points as it has letters. When you think you know all the words, grab the ball and shout “VEM!” (“I know!”). For every word you then guess without a clue, you score double points, but if you make a mistake, the double points of the unsolved words are shared among the other contestants. The player with the most points wins and is the top VEMOLOG.
Why you will like it
- Every question is a little race, because whoever grabs the red ball first gets to answer.
- The questions are short riddles with wordplay, and the answer is always just one letter.
- By shouting “VEM!” you can take a risk for double points, but a mistake helps the others.
- The crosswords come in three difficulty levels, from the easier blue ones to the hardest red ones, and the role of host can pass to someone else after each crossword.
Who is Vem! 4 for

What might you not like?
