Game Time – „Heads Up!”

GAME TIME – „HEADS UP!”

Accompanying the third episode of Meeting With History Online is a game of “Heads Up!” with a Wrocław twist. You can print out the list of characters you will be guessing, which you will find below, or you can just write them down on cut- -up pieces of paper or post-it notes. Additionally, we have compiled a short list of information about those characters you can find useful during the game. Let’s begin!

Rules of the game (2–4 players)

Pieces of paper with names of characters written on them are drawn by players, who then place them on their forehe- ads (e.g. with tape), so that they cannot see what is written on them. Each player draws one piece of paper at a time. Then, with the help of the provided list of information, players alternate in asking “Yes” or “No” questions to try to guess which character they are. When a player quesses correctly they are awarded a point and draw another piece of paper to keep the name going. The person with the most points wins.

P.S. Additional point for everyone who can pronounce “Trzonolinowiec”! MAREK STANISŁAW PETRUSEWICZ TOŁPA
