Instructions

​

You will need:

pen, paper, watch.

Preparations

The game involves multiple teams, you are allowed to make as many as you want with as many team-members as you want, they must be equally balanced though. Every team-member writes down 3 names of a person, place or thing on separate pieces of paper. They should use names that all players should be able to know. You can make this as easy or as hard as you like. . All pieces of paper are folded twice and collected.


Round 1

The first member of team A stands in front of the crowd and opens the first piece of paper and reads the name on the piece of paper to themselves. He now has 1 minute to describe the person, place or thing on the paper. His team-members try to guess who or what he's talking about. Members of the other teams shut up and watch the time. They will have to pay attention because if the name is not guessed it goes back into the collection and turns up later again.

If the word on the paper is guessed by the team A members, their candidate throws the piece of paper on the ground and grabs the next one. He tries to collect as many pieces of paper as possible in one minute. When time is up the first member of team B takes a piece of paper from the collection etc. until all the pieces of paper have been guessed. Now all teams count how many pieces of paper they have guessed and this is written down on a score-paper. All pieces of paper are collected again for the next round.


Round 2

The same as round one but now the candidates are only allowed to use one word. Mostly this will be a word used in the descriptions in round 1. The team now has only 30 seconds to guess as many names as possible before the other team takes over.


Round 3

The same as round one and two but now the candidates are not allowed to speak and must act to get the name across to their team-members. In this round the team again has only 30 seconds to guess as many names as possible before the other team takes over.


Scoring

At the end of round 3 the scores of the teams in the three rounds are summed up and the team with the largest amount of names guessed is the winning team of this game.
