Description
Activity Crime is a mime game from the Activity family, with terms from the world of crime and crooks. Its special feature is the silicone handcuffs: the die decides whether you act out the term with your hands cuffed in front, behind your back or to another player. There are no teams here – everyone plays for themselves, racing to be the first to collect 20 points.
How to play Activity Crime
The active player rolls the die and puts on the handcuffs as the die shows. Then they turn over the one-minute sand timer, draw a card and choose one of the two terms marked with the symbol from the die. They act out the term with mime and sounds, but may not speak. Everyone else guesses.
Whoever guesses it scores a point, and so does the player who acted it out. If there is time left, they can act out a second term for an extra point. The game ends when someone reaches 20 points.
Why you will like it
- The handcuffs make miming much more fun – and harder.
- When you are cuffed to another player, the two of you have to act out the term together, without agreeing on anything in words.
- Sounds are allowed, which makes the table even livelier.
- Everyone plays for themselves, and both the player who acts and the one who guesses score points.
Who is Activity Crime for
It plays with three to eight players aged 12 and up, and a game takes about 60 minutes. The rules are simple, and it suits parties and larger groups.
