Do you play?

Actionhat is one of the coolest games around. If you haven’t played, you should definitely try it.

Ingredients: A group of friends, 4 minimum as you have to be in teams. Pens, paper, floorspace and a hat

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make different notes of celebrity names, preferably someone everybody knows. Let’s say a group of 4 write down 5 names each on different notes, fold, and put into hat.

Each team has 30 seconds in each round to guess as many names as possible.

Round 1: You’re allowed to describe as much as you want, but you can’t say the person on the notes name. Say you draw Paris Hilton, “Tall, skanky heiress with small dog” should suffice for your teammate to guess it. If you draw a name and for some reason haven’t heard of the person on it, you’re allowed to put it down again and draw a new one, but NOT if you’ve already started describing. Keep the note when you’re team mate guesses the name on it, and count them when the round is over.

Round 2: You’re allowed to describe with one word, i.e. “heiress” if Paris Hilton is drawn. Eeeh, uummm, hmmm and the likes ALL count as words, so be careful. Again, keep the note when you get the name.

Round 3: You’re not allowed to say anything, instead mime you’re ass off.

 

Tally up all the notes you got right in each round. Guess who the winning team is? Yeah, the one with most notes.

If you want more or fewer celebrity names, or more or less time in the rounds you’re totally free to decide that with your playmates, these are just guidelines.

Now go play!
