GAME mechanics

  • Acting/Mime - In this mechanic, players must act out words or phrases without using speech. Think of it as a game of charades, where non-verbal communication is the key. The player must help their team guess the word by acting it out expressively. Maintaining creativity is essential to ensure that your team can decipher the riddle before time runs out. This activity develops communication and visual interpretation skills.
  • Paper and pen - Here, participants draw clues for their team to guess a specific word or phrase. Writing letters or numbers is not allowed, making creativity and artistic skill the great assets. This mechanic resembles a game of "cordless telephone", but with the use of sketches only. Time is limited, so it's important to be quick and clear in your scribbles. You play as if you were an artist who needs to convey messages visually.
