Free Brain Teasers

Brain Teasers don’t have to be solitary activities they can also be group games.

Or any game for that matter that stretches your mental capacity.

This Game has simple rules but can be challenging to play.

Have the group stand in a circle. This can be played with as many players as you want. But start with at least 5.

As the host you turn the person next to you and ask a question.

That person then either asks you a question in return or turns to the player on the other side of them and asks that player a questions.

The questions do not have to be related. But when they are it gets fun!!

A player gets ‘out’ when they do not ask a question. When they repeat a question. (You can limit this to one that has been said within the past 3 turns)

A player is also out if they ask a one word question such as “What?”

When a player is out they just leave the circle and the players still in move closer. Eventually you will get down to 2-3 players.

Variations: You could also have people get out if they laugh on their turn instead of immediately asking a question.

If you are using this as a icebreaker Which most brain teasers are then as people arrive simply have them join in. Or start a new circle with the ones that already got out from the last game.

I have even seen this game on a few comedy shows. It is really great to get people to loosen up and feel comfortable with each other.

Some examples of a dialogue are
“What is your name?”
“Are you named for your grandmother?”
“Do you spell your name is three L’s or four?”

“How are you?”
“Did you have rough day?”
“How was your hot date?”

They can be related or not – just go with it! Free Brain Teasers
