Face Match: A Guess Who Speaking Game
Teams race around a 24-space board by answering speaking prompts about physical appearance. Players describe faces, compare features, and identify mystery people from a gallery of 20 diverse character images. Each prompt requires genuine communication—asking partners questions, acting out descriptions, and agreeing as a team. Chance cards add movement twists and quick speaking tasks.
