I �m waiting to hear what how to play the game, too.  Just looking online, it appears it �s based on the British TV game show "The Alphabet Game".

I don �t watch the TV program, but sometimes it �s been on and I think I might be able to explain how it works.
The most difficult part to organize is the first part: each participant is awarded points on the basis of other simple games they play in groups, for example, matching words to their definitions, forming new words with given letters, etc.
Then, each group appoints a person to be the one answering the alphabet questions. They are given 60 seconds each plus the points they were able to get in the previous phase. For example: they get 60 + 40. Then, you need a stopwatch. Participants have to answer questions following an alphabetical order in the alloted time. If they don �t know the answer, they say "pasapalabra" and then the stopwatch is stopped. 
A: a Fruit that is red or green...
B:... etc
The other participant gets a turn. The winner is the one with the most number of correct questions. 
I hope I was able to explain myself!!! It �s simple once you �ve played it many times!!!
