Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Choose a secret object, place, movie type or everyday experience.
- Give a short exaggerated one-star review without saying its name.
- Let the group guess.
- Reveal the answer after a correct guess or three clues.
- Rotate the reviewer.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use restaurants, household objects, movies or travel as categories.
Make it a great round
Write reviews from scratch rather than copying real reviews.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
