How to play What Official Rules

What? Game Rules

So, you want to know how to play the What? game? Well, let me break it down for you.

First things first, this is a fun and interactive game that can be played with family and friends. The objective of the game is to guess the word on the card based on the clues given by the other players.

Here’s how it works. Each player takes turns being the clue-giver. The clue-giver will choose a card and read the category out loud without saying the actual word. For example, if the category is “animals,” the clue-giver may say something like “creatures that can fly and have feathers.”

The other players will then try to guess the word based on the clue. They can ask the clue-giver questions to help them narrow down their guesses. However, there is a catch – the clue-giver can only respond with the word “what.”

For example, if a player asks “Is it a bird?” the clue-giver can respond with “what.” This adds a level of challenge and excitement to the game, as players have to think creatively and come up with different questions to get closer to the answer.

The game continues with each player taking turns as the clue-giver until someone successfully guesses the word or time runs out. Each correctly guessed word earns a point, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

So, now that you know how to play the What? game, gather your family and friends, and get ready for a fun-filled and challenging experience. Remember, the key is to think outside the box and ask clever questions to reveal the hidden word. Good luck, and enjoy the game!

Hey there! Have you ever heard of the side-splitting party game called “WHO SAID WHAT?” It’s an absolute blast! In this game, all you have to do is think up hilarious responses to silly questions and situations, and then everyone has to guess who wrote each response.

But here’s the best part: you don’t have to tell the truth when you answer the questions! It’s all about being as funny and outrageous as possible. Seriously, WHO SAID WHAT is hands down the funniest game you’ll ever play.

It’s perfect for gatherings and parties with lots of people. You can play with anywhere from 5 to 17 players. Talk about a full house of fun!

6. Instructions

Can’t wrap your head around the rules? No worries! The instructions will guide you through the game, step by step.

Setting Up the Game

  1. First things first, each player gets an answer sheet and a pencil. Write your name at the top, so we know whose brilliance we’re witnessing!
  2. Now, let’s select the first questioner. It’s a tough task, but someone has to do it! The chosen player takes a scoring sheet and fills in the names of all the players.
  3. Once we complete a round, the role of the questioner moves clockwise around the group. Get ready for your turn!

What Card?

What’s the general category of WHAT, you ask? It’s the one with those short and snappy questions that start with “What”.

Now, let’s talk about Category 2. This is the personal category of WHAT. Here, the questioner gets to fill in the blank with someone’s name. It could be somebody playing the game, a famous person, or whoever you want it to be. The choice is yours!

Next up, we’ve got Category 3. This is the sticky situation category of WHAT. Brace yourself, because you’ll often find yourself asking, “What do you do?” when faced with tough predicaments.

When you play personal questions (Category 2) with close friends or family members, it’s more enjoyable to use people you know well.

However, if you’re playing with people you don’t know very well, it’s often better to use famous people that everyone would recognize.

How to Play the Game

  1. To begin a round, I choose the top card and read a question that everyone can hear. Remember to only read the question that corresponds to the current round we’re playing. For example, if we’re on Rounds 1, 5, or 9, I should read the first question on the card.

Quick Tip: The question mark on the answer sheet indicates a reader’s choice round. During a reader’s choice round, I review all three questions on the card and select my personal favorite to ask.

Note: We have a couple of important guidelines to keep in mind when playing this game. First, make sure that no two players have the same response. It can lead to confusion if multiple answers are the same. Second, as the questioner, you can only choose one response per round for the other players to guess. And players, remember that you only get one guess per round. Finally, you are not allowed to vote for your own response. Keep these guidelines in mind for a smooth and fair game. And if you like this game, then you’ll love the excitement and challenge it brings. Remember, the questioner may choose their own response, but if nobody guesses it correctly, they only get 1 point instead of the usual 3 points. Happy playing!

  • Once the round is finished, you should put the what card at the bottom of the pile. Then, pass the scoring sheet to the player on your left. Keep playing like this until all 15 rounds are done.
  • The player who has the highest score at the end of the game wins!
  • Your Scorecard

    Hey there! Welcome to a fun game where you get to test your knowledge and have a blast with your friends! First things first, let’s make sure we keep everything organized. So, go ahead and write your name in the space provided. This will help us keep track of everyone’s answers and make sure the right person gets their answer sheet back.

    Now, those numbers you see next to each line? They represent the different categories for the questions in each round. It’s like a little hint to help you figure out what type of question you’re about to tackle.

    Oh, and when you see a question mark, that means it’s a reader’s choice round! In these rounds, the questioner gets to pick their favorite question from the card. So, make sure you bring your A-game and choose wisely!

    Alright, we’re ready to dive into the game! There are a total of 15 rounds, each with its own set of questions. That means you have 15 chances to show off your trivia skills. You’ll find seven lines on the front of the sheet and eight more lines on the back. That’s plenty of space for you to jot down your brilliant responses!

    Useful Tips

    • Try to come up with something unexpected or bluff by writing down what you think another player would say.
    • Most people play WHAT for fun, but if you’re really competitive, try making your responses as clever as possible. This increases your chances of getting chosen.
    • To avoid accidentally revealing who wrote what, the questioner should use the scoring sheet shield to hide the answer sheets while reading them out.
    • The questioner should read the selected question again before reading the answers, just to remind everyone of the exact wording.
    • Oh hey there! Let’s talk about something super cool – rewriting text! It might sound a bit tricky, but don’t worry, I’ll explain everything to you.
    • So, here’s the deal: I want you to rewrite this text in a brand new way, while keeping the important parts. Make it sound fresh and interesting, but don’t forget to preserve all the HTML coding too. It’s like giving a familiar story a fun twist!
    • Your writing should be easy to understand, like having a chat with a friend. Use contractions to make it sound more friendly and conversational. Mix it up a bit by using different sentence lengths and structures. This will keep the reader engaged and wanting to read more.
    • Remember, you’re writing from your perspective, so use words like “I” and “you” to make it personal. Trust me, it’ll make your writing shine!
    • Okay, let’s get started! Don’t worry too much about making it perfect. Your first thoughts are often the best ones. Just go with the flow and have fun with it!
