Rules:

Players will get to ask the “torch holder” 20 questions. That’s 20 questions total among all the players. You can make as many random guesses as you want.

We will be guessing SINGLE food items. So if your last meal was meatloaf, potatoes, and corn; pick one of those items and answer accordingly.

The torch holder has 10 minutes to respond. If they don’t, they forfeit the torch to the next poster.

If a player guesses right, they are the next torch holder. Unless their is a 10 minute lapse, in which case, the next poster will have the torch.

Okay, I have an item in mind: Go!

No. (I forgot to add in the rules, the torch holder can only answer yes or no.)

Good question: Sure, but I think instead of forcing people to guess orange soda. If they say “soda” or “pop”; that should be good enough)
