How to Create a Guess Who Game for Fun Family Nights

Okay, so listen up. Family nights can get super boring sometimes, right? You’ve watched all the movies like 1000 times and no one wants to play Monopoly because someone always tries to cheat by hiding money under the board. So let’s shake things up with a homemade Guess Who game! Yes, that’s right! We’re gonna take that classic game and turn it into a family night legend!

Now picture this: you’re sitting around the table, everyone’s laughing and yelling in excitement. Or maybe someone’s just yelling at your cat because he stole their card. Either way it’s fun! So grab some paper, some pens and let’s get rolling!

Step One: Gather Your Supplies

First things first. You need stuff. Grab some cardboard or thick paper. Like, seriously don’t go thin or your cards will be floppier than my Uncle Bob doing yoga. You’ll also need markers or crayons ’cause we wanna make this thing look good, ya know? Oh and scissors for when you feel like a crafty ninja.

Step Two: Decide on Your Characters

Okay here’s where it gets fun! Who’s gonna be in your game? I mean it could be family members if you’re feeling brave like “Guess who has really bad breath?” But maybe just stick to cartoon characters or funny animals. Think of characters that everyone knows but not too many ’cause you don’t want people guessing until next year.

Step Three: Draw Your Characters

Alright now time to show off those artistic skills… or lack there of. It doesn’t matter if you can barely draw a stick figure. Just give it your best shot! Make sure your pictures are big enough so everyone can see them from across the table where Aunt Sally is probably sneaking chips again.

Step Four: Make Question Cards

This is where it gets tactical people. You need question cards! Write questions on little pieces of paper to help people guess who they have. Questions like “Does your person have glasses?” or “Is your person a giant marshmallow?” The sillier the better! And trust me, you’ll want that marshmallow question for dramatic flair.

Step Five: Set Up the Game Area

Now that you’ve got your characters and questions ready, it’s time to set up the game area like you’re preparing for an intense battle of wits, survival style. Lay out all the character cards on the table face up (but maybe not upside down unless you’re trying to confuse everyone on purpose). Then place all the question cards nearby so everyone can reach them without having to do awkward stretches.

Step Six: Play Like There’s No Tomorrow

Gather round family warriors!!! Everyone takes turns asking yes or no questions about their characters until they guess correctly. Remember to keep score – because winning matters (especially against annoying siblings). And if someone is taking too long, feel free to distract them by asking random trivia questions like “What’s a banana’s favorite gymnastic move?”

Step Seven: Celebrate Victory & Laugh at Losers

After every round declare someone the winner with lots of confetti (just kidding don’t actually throw confetti inside unless you want Mom mad). Celebrate with snacks and drinks because what else are family nights for? Also totally tease anyone who loses… but in a loving way (like “Better luck next time Grandma”).
