Who Am I?

4+ people • ~15 minutes

'Who Am I?' is a guessing game that can be played with a group of people. Here are the steps to play:

  1. Write down names: Write down the names of famous people, characters from books or movies, or even people in your group on small pieces of paper.
  2. Distribute the papers: Fold the papers and distribute them to each player without showing them what's written on the paper.
  3. Stick papers to forehead: Each player should stick the piece of paper to their forehead without looking at it, so that everyone else can see who they are.
  4. Ask questions: Starting with the first player, they will ask yes-or-no questions to the other players to figure out who they are. For example, 'Am I a fictional character?' or 'Am I a musician?'
  5. Keep asking questions: Each player continues asking questions until they guess who they are correctly, or until the group decides to move on to the next person.
  6. Repeat: Keep playing until each person has had a turn, or until the group decides to end the game.

Remember to keep the questions focused on narrowing down the identity of the person on the paper, and to keep the answers limited to 'yes' or 'no'. You can also set a time limit for each turn to keep the game moving.
