- 3–10 people
- One device, or phones
- Free
- Teens and up
What it feels like
Your first concert. Your first job. The first time you felt properly grown up, and the first time you realised you weren't. Everybody has a list of firsts. Tonight, the room finds out whose is whose.
How to play
- Take a private turn each and answer two prompts. Nobody else looks.
- The answers come up one at a time, with no name on them. Say out loud who wrote it.
- Reveal, and see who read the room.
Scoring: 2 points for each right guess. If fewer than half of you guess yours, you score 3 for staying a mystery.
You'll get prompts like
- “Your first concert or live show”
- “Your first paid job”
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.
