Because I like this game too much to just play in one!
This was my favorite car game of all time (based on
the game show).
For an example of play, see
Password I.
The rules:
Two teams of 2. Team A (with Player 1 and Player 2) and Team B (with Player 3 and Player 4).
Player 3 whispers (PMs) a word to Player 1. This is the PASSWORD. It must be a single word, no proper nouns.
Player 1 says (posts publicly) a single word CLUE. CLUEs must be a single word but may be any word (including proper nouns). They cannot contain or be a lexicographic variant of the PASSWORD: i.e., you cannot use "walk" as a CLUE for a PASSWORD of "walking".
Player 2 then has one shot at guessing the PASSWORD from the CLUE. Close variants of the PASSWORD are typically sufficient (i.e., "Walking" is good enough for "Walk").
If Player 2 guesses incorrectly, Player 3 says (posts publicly) a second single word CLUE.
Player 4 then has one shot at guessing the PASSWORD from both of the CLUEs that have been given so far.
If Player 4 guesses incorrectly, Player 1 says (posts publicly) a third single word CLUE. And so on and so forth, to a maximum of 6 CLUEs given in this manner. If after 6 CLUEs there are still no correct guesses, no one gets any points.
Your team scores points if you correctly guess the PASSWORD. You get points based on how many total CLUEs have been uttered -- 10 points after the first clue, 9 after the second, 8 after the third, 7 after the fourth, 6 after the fifth, and 5 after the sixth.
In the next round, Player 1 whispers a PASSWORD to Player 3, with Player 3 giving the first clue. Then Player 4 whispers a PASSWORD to Player 2, with Player 2 giving the first clue, and Player 2 whispers a PASSWORD to Player 4, with Player 4 giving the first CLUE. Then we repeat all over again.
(So the chain is: 3->1, 1->4, 4->2, 2->3.)
The winner is the first team to 100 points.
Team A:
1: Voltgloss
2: Insomniac
Team B:
3: Galzria
4: theory
Spectator note: because of the nature of this game, the players cannot create a QT. You are welcome to create one and share it with others.
