Before you start
Pick 3–5 questions in advance (“What was your first job?”, “What's your secret talent?”). For a big group, collect answers by online form before the party.
- 1The host asks a question; everyone writes their answer on a card without showing anyone.
- 2Cards go into the bowl. The host reads them one by one.
- 3The room shouts or writes a guess for who wrote each answer, then the author stands up.
- 4One point per correct guess. Play several questions and total the scores.

What to say3

- 2““I can recite every Eat Bulaga host since 1990.” Who wrote that?!”

Host tips3
- Handwriting gives authors away instantly. Have answers typed into a form beforehand, or read them aloud yourself and never show the card.
- Someone will write something that embarrasses another guest. Read every card silently before reading it aloud and skip anything risky.
- Too many cards drag. With more than 20 people, read a random dozen per question rather than all of them.
