Description

What face do you make when you're trying to have an intelligent conversation with the drunkest person at the party? Or when you finally reach that itchy spot on your back? How about when family movie night is interrupted by an unexpected sex scene?

Try to get your team to guess what random moment you're reacting to by just making a face! No sounds, words, or movement allowed!

To play, one team draws 4 cards from 1 of the decks (happy, sad, scared and mad). Each deck contains cards that describe a specific situation. For example, you will find situations like "A pigeon just flew right up in your face" in the scared deck.

The team picks 1 of the 4 cards to give to the facemaker on the other team. They pass that card to the facemaker who memorizes it and then gives it back. That card is shuffled in with the other 3 cards and passed to the guessers on the facemaker's team. The facemaker takes the mirror that is provided with the game to prepare their expression while their teammates read the 4 cards out loud.

When ready, the facemaker reveals their expression and must hold it while their teammates try to decide which of the 4 situations they are reacting to. If they guess correctly, they keep the card. If they are wrong, the other team gets the card. Once everyone has been the facemaker once, the teams count up their cards to see who won!
