The Game
Source: Amazon
We will be playing the silly party game
Never have I ever - with a bit of
hopefully
fun twist. If you are not familiar with the
Never have I ever, here is a typical format via the video below.
"The object of the game is simple, players take turns to answer highly personal and potentially defamatory questions" - Amazon.
The Twist / Contest
Here is the twist.
The chat will be entirely
anonymous, which means participants will sign into the chat room using
any random blogger name that does not belong to you. For example,
Toinlicious may sign in as
Afrobabe.
Note: Your chosen blogger name should be as random and obscure as possible, because the aim of the game will be to unmask as many players
as you can. I.e, the player who successfully identifies the highest number of
real bloggers behind their chosen fake names wins. I expect the whole things should not go longer than about 1hour, depending on how quick we catch on.
The Prize
I will email a
$$$ gift voucher to the winner, as my sort of
mini blog give-away.
How to play
The game will run in quick rounds, moderated by an anonymous
participant. The moderator will call out a
confession/topic/question for each round,
which will then carry on into quick-fire responses by every player.
So, the moderator may start off with a
Never have I ever declaration, then each player will respond
in turn either affirming or denouncing that same confession for themselves, however making their own declaration a little more creative to hopefully mask their identity. After every player has made their personal statement, the moderator will hand over to another player to start off the next round of
Never have I ever declaration.
Simple example
Moderator: This is round 5. The catogory is
lush kisses. So your declarations/confessions will revolve this topic. Player 1 will start off
Player 1: Never ever have i kissed a man.
Player 2: Never ever have i kissed a girl on a sunny sunday in New York City.
Player 3: Never kissed at all.
So from the answers, you may likely guess that player 1 is either a guy or a lesbian, and therefore could be
Duru Jnr masquerading as
SisiYemmie. Player 3 is defintely not Duru ;)
Your answers have to be
100% truthful and realistic, but think carefully, as every player will be using your answers to work out who you are.
At the end of the game we will take turns to reveal each participant's best guesses. The person who correctly
guesses the highest number of bloggers correctly wins. Simples.
Question
If you have any questions, you can drop them into the comments box and i will try to answer them asap, that way the chat is not used up trying to explain rules and etc.
How to enter
Sign up in the comments box and go on to decide your chosen
fake blog handle which you will use to log into the chat room. Keep your diary open at the decided date & time. You may drop an email address if you want a personal reminder closer to the chat date. You may want to have a reliable internet connection, possibly on a laptop.
T&C
I need to think these through properly to ensure i have covered every angle and simplified things as much as possible. Hence, the
details, times and dates are subject to change until 'good-to-go', and also to allow for significant number of particpants signed in. I will hold off for a minimum of ten(10) confirmed players before proceeding. I will try to do some PR blog rounds over the weekend to quicken things.
So yeah, that's about it. See you at the
Masked Ball....
