A fun game for quarantine
So with everybody trapped inside and looking for reasons not to strangle their loved ones in their sleep, I thought I’d share a game my gf and I made up. All you need to play is a way of generating a random number between 1 and 100. This generator will do it. We play Call of Cthulhu, so we have percentile dice lying around the house.
We call the game “Spectrum.” This is a game that is best played with someone you know really, really well.
You only need 2 players: the clue-giver, and the guesser.
The guesser names a spectrum: meaning, any 2 things that could be mapped onto a range. For example:
- Underrated to overrated
- Sandwich to not a sandwich
- Guilty pleasure to respectable source of fun
- normal thing to say to someone at the office to weird thing to say to someone at the office
And so on. For this example, let’s say the spectrum is polite to rude.
The clue-giver then rolls 1-100, and hides the result from the guesser. Let’s say they roll a 66. The clue-giver now needs to think of an example of something that is exactly 66% of the way into the Polite to Rude spectrum.
They then give that example to the guesser. Let’s say they decide their clue would be: “Going to a friend’s dinner party and bringing a nice dessert, serving the dessert on your friend’s dish, then taking the dish home with the leftover dessert and never returning the dish.”
It is now the guesser’s job to guess what number they rolled.
My gf and I have known each other for ten years, so we can regularly guess within 3 of the number! In the example above, she picked that clue for 66% on a polite-to-rude spectrum, and I got it exactly right.
we’ve had a lot of fun with this game, so if you try it and have fun with it, let us know!
