WHAT'S MY LINE?
TYPE: Quiet
Four teams are chosen. Each team selects one player to be on the panel. The panel is then blindfolded. Another player, the leader or a "special guest" is chosen as the "mystery guest". The four members can ask only "yes" or "no" questions to discover the identity of the "mystery guest". Each time the mystery guest" answers "no", the next person on the panel has a chance to ask the questions. The panel can ask questions until the identity of-the guest speaker is discovered or they accumulate ten "no" answers. Whichever member of the panel guesses the identity scores one point for his team.
Variation: To add more of an educational aspect to the game, have the “mystery guest” assume the role of a famous person in history, the community, etc. In this variation it is not necessary to blindfold the panelists.
