Roles
There are 3 roles in this game. The aim of this game is to be the first player to earn 5 points. However the method differs in each role.
Question Master
- Decide the category and write the title on the title cards.
- Cannot participate in drawing.
- Can earn points if the fake artist wins.
- It's important to choose an easy title in order to help the fake artist.
Fake Artist
- Must draw without knowing the title.
- Can earn points if not caught out by the other artists.
- Or if caught out, the fake artist must state the correct title.
- Talk the talk: Act like you know the title.
Artist
- Make one mark per turn on the same piece of paper.
- Can earn points if they guess the identity of the fake artist.
- Don't reveal the title to the fake artist.
Setup
Players decide who will be the question master (QM) for the first round. The remaining players will be the artists.
The QM must choose a category and announce it to the artists. Then, on the back of the title cards, the QM writes an "X" on one card and a title based on the category on the remaining cards.
Category examples: Animals, Vehicles, Fruits, etc.
The QM picks up the same number of title cards as artists. The QM shuffles the title cards and places one in front of each artist. Each artist turns over their card but shouldn't reveal the subject. The person who turns over the "X" is the fake artist.
The QM should remember the color of the card with the "X".
Drawing
Artists then select a color marker. The question master decides who makes the first mark. Moving clockwise each artist makes a mark to create the masterpiece. This continues for two rounds.
Voting
After the 2nd round, the QM will count down from 3. The artists must then point to who they believe is the fake artist.
3, 2, 1, point!
The fake artist must reveal their identity if the fake artist has been pointed to the most. They then must say the correct title of the final artwork in order to earn points.
The fake artist can only answer once.
How to Determine the Scores
The fake artist has not been caught out. (Not pointed to the most or has received the same number of votes as other artists.)
- Fake artist and QM win. The fake artist and QM earn 2 points each.
The fake artist has been caught out. (Pointed the most.) The fake artist states an answer for the title:
- If the fake artist's answer is correct: Fake artist and QM win. The fake artist and QM earn 2 points each.
- If the fake artist's answer is incorrect: Artists win. Only the artists earn 1 point each.
Next Round and Winning
To begin the next round the person to the left of the QM becomes the next QM.
The first player to earn 5 points is the winner.
At the end of each round, don't forget to name the masterpiece. To continue to enjoy the fun, fold the title over and quiz your friend :) or tweet it!
