The objective is to align the clock's hands with the guide hands to match the clock in the center of the screen. The player controls both hands by tilting the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] clockwise or counterclockwise; naturally, the minute hand moves faster than the hour hand. The first player to match the time gets a point, causing all players' clocks to freeze until the next round starts. The first player to score three points wins. If no player reaches three points by the time 10 rounds have passed, the game ends in a tie.
