  No, this has nothing to do with the pop group.
The aim is to identify personalities, television programmes, movies and songs from the Hearsay clues.
This is a great game in which you can hear what you're saying but not necessarily say what you are hearing. Clues lead to answers which individually are merely words. Put them together and they take on a whole new meaning.
Even if you solve the clues within the time limit you might still fail to put them together and give the correct answer.
