Icebreakers · Get to know each other
Hot Takes
Opinions you'd defend. Guess who holds them.
- ~15 min
- 3–10 people
- One device, or phones
- Free
- Teens and up
What it feels like
Everyone has one. The opinion you'd defend at a wedding, in a queue, to your own grandmother. Tonight, you'll write yours down... and the room will try to work out who's been hiding them.
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
- “Something everyone loves that you think is overrated”
- “Something underrated that deserves more love”
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.
