This is a good game for ages 6-adult. You’ll want a group of 4-6 people. We play this game in the car a lot. It’s our favorite travel game. It doesn’t require any equipment.
Game Instructions: While in the car, we have a front seat group and a back seat group. Each person in the front is paired as a team with a person in the back seat. The front seat group chooses a person’s name. It can be someone famous or otherwise known to the group. Player 1 gives a clue to his partner in the back seat. Let’s say the name is Theodore Roosevelt. Player 1’s clue must result in an answer that is not a proper noun. So, his clue could be, “The name of a common red flower you would give to someone on Valentines Day.” His back seat partner answers, “Rose”. Now his partner has one chance to guess a name. If he guesses wrong, Player 2 in the front seat gives his back seat partner a clue. He may say, “A kind of fabric you might use to make a Christmas stocking or a puppet. Jack’s teddy bear is made with it.” His partner answers “Felt”. He now gets one chance to guess the name. The game continues until the name is guessed. An additional clue might be, “The rectangular object with a knob that leads into a room.” – A door. The players try to put the clues together (Door- Rose- Felt) to figure out the name. Remember, you can’t give clues that result in a Proper Noun. You can’t say things like, “Dad’s brother” to get the answer Theodore.
