Dinosaur Tea Party

A tea party full of dinosaurs where you have to work out who you are before the cake runs out.

It is the social event of the year: high tea at Dinoton Abbey, and everyone is dressed to the nines. There is just one tiny problem. You cannot remember a single name, not even your own. Each player is dealt a card for one of the dinosaur guests, and on your turn you either ask someone a question or take a guess at your dinosaur's name. Get it right and you score; get your name guessed and you draw a fresh card. First to name three wins. It is a game of pure deduction from 2018, aimed at kids from seven and the adults sitting next to them, and the dinosaur gossip does half the entertaining.

Who it's for

You want a short, giggly deduction game for kids and adults together, with more talking than counting.

Not for you if…

You like deduction with logic puzzles and tight information control. This is a chatty, light guessing game.

Vibe's take

Chatty and silly. The questions get weirder as everyone tries to describe a brooch or a hat without giving the game away.
