Description
Activity is one of the classic guessing games for larger groups, combining drawing, describing and mime. You compete in teams: one player presents a term and the others try to guess it before the sand in the timer runs out. If they guess it, the team moves along the game board towards the finish.
How to play Activity
The team whose turn it is picks a pile of cards with difficulty 3, 4 or 5. The colour of the space the team's pawn stands on tells you which term on the card you must present, and the symbol tells you whether you will draw it, explain it in words or act it out in mime. If the team guesses the term in time, it moves as many spaces as the card is worth.
If the term is printed in red, it is an open round and everyone guesses. Whoever lands with their pawn on the space of an opposing team pushes that team one space back. The first team to reach the finish wins.
Why you will like it
- You choose the card difficulty yourself – an easier card earns fewer spaces, a harder one more.
- By choosing the card value you can deliberately land on an opponent's space and push them back.
- In open rounds everyone guesses, so things get very lively around the table.
- The game is for three to sixteen players, perfect for parties and family gatherings.
Who is Activity for
It plays with three to sixteen players aged 12 and up, and a game lasts about 45 minutes. The rules are simple, and players like it best with six or eight. With three players you play only open rounds.
What you might not like
The game is loud and lively, as players shout out their guesses. It may not suit those who prefer quiet games or like to play as a pair.
