A Game with no Name

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Maybe it has one, but I thought the title might be catchy enough to draw a few Game Dopers.

Here’s the idea:

  1. think of some category or grouping of stuff
  2. don’t name the category but give at least three examples of it
  3. announce it after somebody guesses it exactly the way you thought of it

Do as many groupings as you like per post, but label them so folks can refer to the group easily.

Example:

  1. Ziplok
  2. Hefty
  3. Glad

Category: Brands for storage bags (I would allow close approximations like Things to Store Food In)

Try to be as obscure in your categories as possible. See who can go longest without being correctly guessed.

This set is For Real:

Z1-1 Square
Z1-2 Granny

Types of knots?

ETA: tdn’s is brushes.

I want to say types of ales, but I’ve never heard of entire ale.

Yep.

Knots is correct for mine.

Is “Ales” an official guess? I don’t know if we are supposed to give hints!

11

Don’t give hints yet.

12

I’ll leave that to the individual, but I think it would add to the Prime Objective (See who can go longest without being correctly guessed) not to give hints. Leave it to folks to Google if needed.

Z3-2 Elizabeth Taylor
Z3-3 Rhonda Fleming

DWC-Pennsylvania

Paper.

Is there something about Z3 other than that they’re actresses?
