Game Night Just Got Real

Check out several ways to play and explore nearly limitless potential for conversation and fun.

Players: For the person answering: be authentic . . . there is no right or wrong answer!

Listeners: NO judgement of answers and NO clarification of questions (each player should interpret the question for themselves and answer uniquely accordingly).

Basic Rules

  • Play by yourself or with a group.
  • Roll the dice.
  • Draw a card.
  • Match the symbol with a category.
  • Each player takes a turn answering the card questions.
  • Allow one minute for each person to think, reflect, and answer.

Guess Who

How well do you know the group?

  • Grab pens and paper for each player in the group.
  • Each player rolls the dice.
  • The player who rolls handstand symbol becomes the group “Lens” (or moderator), and reads the question out loud.
  • Allow the group, including the Lens, one minute to write down the question and answer.
  • Players initial their sheet, turn in to the Lens, and Lens reads the answers.
  • The Lens does not share when they are reading their own answer versus other players, making sure to keep the sheets hidden.
  • Allow all players to vote on each answer as to who they believe is the author.
  • A point is given to all who match correctly the answer to the correct person.
  • After five rounds, the player with the most points wins!

Second Chance

We all deserve a second chance!

  • Play in a group using the original rules of play.
  • When everyone finishes answering the question, the round continues in the same order.
  • Allow each player another chance to answer the same question.
  • Some players may not have a second answer, but that’s ok!
  • Once you complete two rounds of the same question, roll the dice and move to the next question.

Picture This

A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

  • Grab pens and paper for each player in the group.
  • Each player rolls the dice.
  • Player who rolls handstand symbol becomes the group “Lens” (or moderator), and reads the question out loud.
  • Lens rolls dice, matches symbol to question on card and asks a question to the group.
  • Each player draws their answer to the question.
  • The Lens then collects the drawn answers and everyone has to guess what it is.
  • One point is awarded for a correct guess.
  • You decide how many rounds to play, but player with most points wins!

Pass Please!

Just like a party invite, we all get to ‘pass’ if need be!

  • Grab pennies, peanuts or paper to serve as a PASS card for each player in the group.
  • Each player gets one PASS.
  • Using the original rules of play, add this PASS to give each player the option to not answer one question for each round of play.
