Summary
This one plays out like a classic game show — think Jeopardy! There's a host and a couple of contestants. The host reads statements that work as answers, and contestants have to respond in the form of a question. The host tracks names and winnings, and categories can come from the audience, the host, or the contestants. Forget to phrase it as a question? That can cost you.
How to Play
- Pick a host and contestants.
- Set up your categories.
- The host reads statements (the "answers").
- Contestants respond in the form of a question.

Purpose
Variations
