What is this game called?

I have played a game like this at school I think it maybe sharrades. But also I had a name of an actor written on a piece of paper sticky taped to my forehead and I had to guess who it was which was funny because I never got it right. I want to know what its called aswell, because I was only thinking about it when I woke up.

We play something along those lines, and we call it “Celebrity”. But it’s a combo of what you’re doing mixed with some Pictionary.

One time I had “Harrison Ford” so I drew a Han Solo stick figure with a Millennium Falcon in the background. My partner didn’t guess it and just asked what the hell I was drawing and I screamed “IT’S THE MILLENNIUM FALCON, JESUS!!!” Needless to say, that is now a common quote in our apartment.

I’ve always called it the Sticky Head Game.

This was a game popular in the seventies – I have no idea what it is really called – I have heard numerous different ways of describing it.

This is my favorite party game, but I use sticky name tags and put it on people’s backs. I don’t know the name though.

Maybe charades, from www.dictionary.com:charades, (used with a singular verb) a game in which the players are typically divided into two teams, members of which take turns at acting out in pantomime a word, phrase, title, etc., which the members of their own team must guess.

I once saw it in Inglourious Basterds
What a yawnfest
The part I mean, not the movie

I played this at my brother’s 16th birthday party using Star Wars characters. But ours had clues, talking to each other, interacting, etc. Not yes or no answers.

I had a card on my head, Hans pointed at Luke and told me very firmly that ‘I would always be with him.’ Chewbacca then made his silly noises in agreement.

Clearly, I was ‘The Force’.

Everyone I knew just called it Guess Who. And then there’s Ism. Which is played the same way only in the most offensive way possible. You play anything you can think of that was politically incorrect at some point, like a Landowner, a Serf, Hitler, different peoples or ethnic groups, etc.

That one works better with History nerds + booze.

@PretentiousArtist Did you like the film? I haven’t seen it yet so no spoilers please.

@NewZen: Threadjacker. Cease and desist!

The movie was a lot better than Tarantino’s last offerings (the dreadful Death Proof and the Kill Bill series). But Tarantino has seen better days.

@asmonet Are you saying that as a mod? It was said quietly, far down in the thread, in response to a remark about the movie. I do hope you are joking – I just don’t see a tilde. Clarify your exclamation point. Thanks.

No, really, that stuff is better for PMs

It’s a question about a stupid charades game, and she mentioned inglorious bastards. Go back to work/school and chill, kids. This is not a highjack of a thread, sheesh.

I loved that in Inglorious Basterds… and according to one site it’s a variation of 20 questions.
(from the review site).

All the sources I found of ‘victorian parlour games’ refer to it as ‘The Name Game’. Not very convincing, though.

To anyone who has mentioned charades: I understand where that distinction comes from, but my friends and I also play traditional charades, with miming names of films, television shows, etc, so I guess I’m looking for a distinction.

@andrew I’ve always used “The Name Game” to refer to the one where you sing about everybody’s name

“Celebrities”!

Death Proof – one of the most ignorant movies I’ve ever seen. No wait, Halloween by Rob Zombie, now that was a stinker.

Rob Zombie is doing another remake. Someone should stop that man

Who am I? is what I’ve always heard.

CELEBRITY HEAD GAME.

On the Ellen DeGeneres show, they call it Celebrity

We always called it the Rizla Game, because there was always someone bound to have some rolling papers that could be used
