Guess the Scene!

What do you need for ‘Guess the Scene’? 😋

• At least 6 players
• Paper and pens
• A timer
• Maybe: Alcohol

Gameplay 😸

The game »Guess the Scene!« is about guessing scenes from movies or series. In the beginning, you and your friends form groups: It depends on the number of players but you should form players with around 2, 3 or 4 people. There must be at least three different teams in the game. Maybe you should draw lots to guarantee a fair play. In the next step, the teams individually start discussing possible scenes from movies or series, which they want to see in the game. They write those scenes on a paper, fold it, and write their team name on the back. Make sure that you choose famous scenes that all your friends know to keep the game fun for everyone! And make also sure that you describe the scenes clear to avoid questions. After forming groups, you decide how many scenes each team has to think of. We recommend to start with 5 scenes, then you can reform the teams or the losers want revenge!

You can’t think of any good scene? No problem, you’ll find some ideas for scenes later in this article!

What’s next? 🧐

• Assigning scenes: Every team hands their paper sheets to the next team on their right.
• Preparing scenes: Every team prepares its first scene within 5 minutes. Everything is possible except using words, which are also in the movie title (e.g. Titanic).
• Guessing scenes: The first team starts to play their scene in front of the others. The team on their right needs to guess the right scene within 1 minute and 30 seconds.

In the beginning, you can decide how exactly the others have to guess your scene: Most of the time knowing the title is enough. But if the scene is iconic, you can consist of guessing the scene with details.

»Guess the Scene!« - The Point Game 🎃

Well, up until now the gameplay should be clear: You think of scenes, assign them, the team to your right has to prepare the scene and plays them in front of the other teams. While they’re playing the team to their right has to guess right. And now there’s just one question left: Where are the points?

Play

In each round you can get 1, 2, -1 or no points at all.

In our first scenario, we assume that the team guessed right: If you were the guessing team, you’ll get 2 points. If you are the team who played the scene you’ll get 1 point. And the team that watched? Those players get nothing. But what is of the guessing team couldn’t get the right answer on time? Then the team who wrote the scene down loses 1 point. The teams who weren’t the guessing or playing part get 1 point. The others remain on their scores. Don’t forget: You find some ideas for scenes at the end of this article!

»Guess the Scene!« - The Drinking Game 🍹

So, you chose the drinking game? Good choice. Now we’ll tell you when you have to drink. It’s pretty simple. Basically, it’s the same as in the points game. If the team guessed the scene right, everybody who didn’t guess or play the scene in the round drinks. So just teams can avoid drinking. It’s the opposite if the team guessed wrong: The team which played the scene drinks as well as the guessing team. Attention, there is one exception: The team who wrote the scene down drinks always. One time if the other team guessed right and two times if they didn’t.

• »Twilight« – Either you love it or you hate it. There is definitely no between. But it doesn’t matter, most of us watched the movies anyways.

• »Shining« – Maybe the most famous scene of a decade: The writer Jack smashes the bathroom door and shouts: »Here is Johnny!«
