About this game

Three rounds, same set of famous characters, escalating restrictions. First round: say anything. Second round: one word only. Third round: charades only. The genius is that inside jokes and associations from earlier rounds carry forward, so a single gesture can trigger a team to shout the answer. Plays in teams and scales from four to eighteen, making it the ultimate large-group party game for people who think they have outgrown party games.
