Some of the questions require pantomine. You act out doing something that the opposite gender must then figure out. Others are a type of question in which you must guess what the other person will say.

For example one question was “Your stopped at a red light and notice someone is checking you out. What will you do?” Then 3 responses. The other team tries to guess what your answer will be.

I think the full question was "What essential part of a woman’s wardrobe has the initials “LBD”?
