Setup

Prepare a pen and paper for each player. Assign a moderator. Prepare 6 little peices of paper for each person to write on. Instruct each person to write one thing they like on three bits of the paper, and three things they don't like on the other three bits of paper. For example, John Doe. Likes: cats, pizza, Halloween. Dislikes: traffic, loud noises. All players must write their name on each bit of paper. Players then fold up and pass their piece of paper to the moderator who puts them into a bowl or hat.

How to Play

The moderator then reads out aloud what is written on one piece of paper at a time. Players have to guess which person wrote it by pointing at that person. Make sure everybody points at the same time. Players earn one point every time they guessed correctly and players are responsible for keeping track of their own points. The game ends when the moderator has finished reading all of the bits of paper and the player who has the most points wins the game!
