The Who Done It Game is playable by all age groups and great for corporate or school settings.

Instructions

This team icebreaker can be played individually or with two teams.  For very large groups, choose ten volunteers and split them into two teams of five.  To set up the game, pass out an index card and a pen for each participant.  Ask each player to write down something interesting they have done.  Examples include the following:

 

I went hang gliding once.

I got arrested before.

I once caught a 20 pound fish.

I lived in ten different states.

I ate a cricket before.

 

Instruct the people to write a fact that most people don’t already know, the more outrageous the better.  Collect all the cards (separate them into two piles if two teams are playing).  Shuffle the cards and then pass them back out.  Each person (or team) takes turns reading aloud their card and then the reader must guess whose card it is. After he or she guesses, the guessed person simply says “yes” or “no”.  If the person guesses correctly, the person who’s card it is can explain the situation if they would like.  The guessing continues until all cards are exhausted.  All players reveal who wrote which card at the end.
