Setup

Choose a player to be the guesser and have them leave the room. The rest of the group then comes up with something that everybody owns or has. For example a passport, a microwave, a tattoo, etc. Make sure the guesser cannot hear what thing the group has decided on!

How to Play

Get the guesser to come back into the room and they can then approach each person with the question “How’s yours?” The player being questioned must give a truthful clue about the chosen thing. Something helpful but not too obvious or vague. For example, if the thing is phone, then saying “Mine is good” is not helpful. Instead, something like “Mine is cracked” is better. The guesser is allowed to make one guess per clue given and can go around asking anybody the same question ‘How’s yours?”. They can also pick on people indiscriminately for clues. If your group is competitive, count the number of times the guesser asks and the guesser with the lowest number at the end of the game wins. Another way is to limit to one question per person and then the guesser must make a guess. If the guesser correctly guesses the thing, then the guesser wins the game. Then the player who gave them the last clue becomes the guesser for the next round.
