What it feels like
Welcome to the gallery. Every drawing on these walls has a title. Only one of them is the real one. The others were invented by very convincing liars. Can you spot the artist's truth?
How to play
- Each of you gets a secret, strange title and draws it — no words or letters.
- Pass it round again: invent a believable title for a few of the others' drawings.
- Each drawing comes up with its real title hidden among the fakes. Pick the real one — on phones, or point on three.
- Then the real title comes out, and so do the forgers.
Scoring: 2 points for picking the real title. 1 point for everyone your fake fools. The artist scores 1 for everyone who finds the real one.
You'll get prompts like
- “A nervous sandwich”
- “The world's smallest birthday party”
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
