Selected Games:
Gesture Chain
In this fantastically inventive version of the classic telephone game, contestants use their bodies and gestures to convey a word or idea.
Name That Tune
This game is a familiar premise with a whole new set of tools! Contestants must use a variety of hopelessly out-of-tune toy instruments to recreate a famous song.
Read my lips!
Contestants must silently relay a song or commonly known phrase to other contestants only by moving their lips.
Image Chain
One contestant looks at an image and must draw a picture of it. The next contestant must look at it and also draw. This goes down the line of contestants; the ones whose pictures match the image originally shown get points.
ESP Me!
Four contestants are asked to complete a picture. The contestants who answer the same as their competitors win points.
Word Association
Contestants must say a word that is directly associated with the answer of the previous contestant. Some words, however, are forbidden. A contestant who says one of the forbidden words, or who can't answer in time, loses. The one who remains wins points.
It's all about camaraderie, teamwork, smarts, and fun. Grabbing this show is the ultimate nobrainer. Don't just flex your brain...Train your brain!
