This is a game inspired by the show whose line is it, anyway?. I’m an English as a Foreign Language teacher in Indonesia and students always get a kick playing this game. It takes a quick wit to keep it going, and with the collective wit of the Dope, it might prove to be quite fun here.
Put simply this game is one in which people must make a (somewhat) coherent conversation using questions only.
Rules:
1. You must respond with a question. (hence the name of the game :D)
2. Question tags aren’t allowed.
Example:
a: why are you leaving?
b: It’s none of your business, isn’t it?
a: Though it would be nice to know where you were heading, wouldn’t it?
3. Your question must be posed to the asker of the previous question, not to anyone else on the sidelines.
4. Your question must be relevant to the previous question.
If the relevance is not that obvious do give an explanation. Use your good judgement, please.
5. Anyone can respond to a question.
It doesn’t have to go back and forth.
6. Please post your question in bold.
7. The last question wins.
And the winner is entitled to 10,000 points.
8. The points don’t matter.
Okay, so let’s say the setting is a barbeque at Uncle Cecil’s.
I’ll open with the question:
What took you so long?
