This game goes by many names (you may have played it as Bip Bop Boop). Whoever errs is eliminated until one winner is left. Person three: “I went to market and bought a magazine, a pocket knife, and a margarita.”Ĥ. “I went to market and bought a magazine and a pocket knife.”ģ. The next person lists what has been said before, then adds something. The first person starts, “I went to market and bought a _.” Say it’s a magazine.Ģ. Optimum group size is two to five people.ġ. It’s also about using mental associations and mnemonics to think of things that only you are likely to remember. This may seem like a pure memory game at first, but there’s actually more to it than that. If the item is a passport, for example, you probably don’t want to say, “Mine is full of stamps.” Better clues for passport: “Mine might be worth something on the black market” or “mine has an expiration date.” If your clue is too obvious and the guesser guesses the object on your clue, then you lose and you’re the next guesser. Vague clues like, “Mine’s made of matter” or “mine’s pretty good” are pointless because the guesser will never get any closer.Ħ. The guesser is only allowed one guess per clue given, and the guesser can either go around asking in a fair circle or pick on people indiscriminately for clues.ĥ.

Once decided, the guesser approaches a person with the question, “How’s yours?” The questioned person gives a truthful clue that will eventually help the guesser figure it out, but nothing too vague or too obvious.Ĥ. A few examples: a passport, a refrigerator, or a tattoo.ģ. The rest of the group comes up with something that everyone in the group owns or has. The guesser leaves the room (or just covers their ears and hums if you’re all stuck in a small space together).Ģ. It’s a little bit like 20 questions, but the only question the guesser can ask is, “How’s yours?”ġ.

In this game, a group of people teams up against one guesser to give clues that strike a balance between too easy and too hard.
