And that’s all for the questions! Total up your answers and find out which letter you picked the most. If you have a draw for your most answered letter, read both letter’s answers and pick your favourite!
If you chose mostly A’s:
You love to be sociable, you are a great conversationalist, but you’re perhaps known for putting your foot in your mouth … Therefore, your perfect game would be Too Much Info!
This hilarious game is all about saying juuuust enough! Take it in turns to describe one of the five options on the card for the other players to guess. But beware, as if everyone guesses the answer correctly, you’ve said too much! And if no one guesses the answer at all, you haven’t said enough! If either of these events happen, you have lost the round and must wear the hat …
This think-on-your-feet game is great for groups and is sure to get everyone umm-ing, err-ing, and laughing out loud!
If you chose mostly B’s:
You love to be active, you have a fantastic sense of humour, and you have no problem standing out from the crowd … Therefore, your perfect game would be Like Herding Cats!
Buckle up for a game of charades, but with a cat-tastic twist! One player is the herder, and all other players are the cats. The cats pick a charade card which features two different, but eerily similar actions on the front and back, so not all cats will see the same side. The cats then don their masks and mime their action, and it’s up to the herder to correctly split them into their two separate groups.
This quirky game of mime and meows is just the thing for adding some light-hearted fun to your gathering, and perfect for performers who may want to keep their identity paw-nonymous …
If you chose mostly C’s:
You’re a naturally good listener, you have a very keen eye for detail, and you have a scarily good memory of your mates … Therefore, your perfect game would be You’re My Lobster!
This question-and-answer game is all about finding out who knows you the best. Take turns asking the question cards to the group to answer about you. Each player writes their answer on their claw whiteboard, and you can predict who you think will match your answer for bonus points. When all answers are revealed, those who have the same as you win points, and the player who gets the most of your questions right is your lobster!
This great guessing game is a fun and exciting way to find out who has been paying attention, and separate your real friends from the fake followers …
If you chose mostly D’s:
You’re fearless, you like living life on the edge, but you can be a little over-ambitious … Therefore, your perfect game would be Nacho Stack!
You’ll need to have a steady hand to pick up your nachos without breaking the stack! To start, place the nachos and jalapeño counters around the edge of the bowl. Then, take turns to roll the dice and carefully remove the nacho with the corresponding sauce. But beware, as any that fall will deduct points from your score! Play until all the nachos are removed, and the player with the most points wins!
This intense balancing game is a thrilling test of skill, and sure to keep all players on the edge of their seats. Get ready for panic, crushing defeat, and the delicious taste of victory!
If you chose mostly E’s:
You’re imaginative, you’re a natural storyteller, and you see life in a very different way to others … Therefore, your perfect game would be Written in the Cards!
This fast-thinking game involves interpreting your cards and delivering your ridiculous readings. One player is the seeker and rolls the dice to determine the kind of fortune they desire. They ask the group their question and all other players devise prophecies using the descriptor of one card, paired with the object on another. Then each player tells a story to answer the seeker’s question, using any of the card pairings submitted. The seeker selects their favourite card combination and story to earn points and determine the ultimate mystic victor.
This hysterical game of fortunes and frenzy is a brilliant addition to any party, and great for putting your quick thinking to the test. One thing in your future is for certain; you are destined for hours of fun!
