Why Are You Like This? Party Edition: How to Play

Quick answer

Why Are You Like This? Grab & Game Party Edition is a fast guessing game where you talk, draw, or gesture to get teammates to guess a card's phrase. Play in rounds until one team reaches the winning score.

How to play Why Are You Like This? Party Edition

1. Set up teams and materials: Divide players into two teams. Shuffle the deck and place it face-down in the center. Each team needs a way to keep score (pen and paper or a scoring app). Common mistake: teams can be uneven. If one team has more players, give the smaller team a one-point head start to balance things.
2. Start the first round: The youngest player goes first. That player draws the top card and reads the phrase silently. They then have 30 seconds to get their teammates to say the phrase using only talking, drawing, or gesturing—no saying any word on the card. Checkpoint: if the player accidentally says a word from the card, the turn ends and no points are awarded. Practice staying silent on the card's exact words.
3. Score and pass the turn: If the guessing team says the phrase within 30 seconds, they earn 1 point. If they fail, no points. Then the other team's player draws a new card and takes their turn. Common mistake: forgetting to reset the timer. Use a phone timer or a dedicated sand timer to keep each turn fair.
4. Win the game: The first team to reach 7 points wins. If both teams are close, you can play sudden death: the next correct guess wins immediately. Checkpoint: agree on the winning score before starting. Some groups prefer 5 points for a shorter game.
