A CLUE
games compendium
w
waltzing
colin The panellists sing some well known songs in Waltz time.
warning
signs With insurance claims and safety measures in mind, the teams are
asked to share any warning signs they may have spotted recently.
we wish you a merry
cliffness A festive version of One Song to the Tune of
Another. The Chairman selects a collection of seasonal tunes, recorded by
the great man himself, to be played by the traditional rules.
welsh
proverbs The Chairman reads out the opening lines of a series of proverbs
translated from the mediaeval Welsh for the teams to complete.
what’s the
connection? The Chairman makes random selections from his bumper book of lists,
and the teams have to guess what the people or items might have in
common.
what’s the
question? Based on Channel 4’s 15-to-1 quiz show. Here the
Chairman provides the correct answer to a selection of fascinating general
knowledge questions which the panellists have to guess.
What’s the
Question? is occasionally confused with the amusing party game played by
French Philosophers, What is A Question? French Philosophers are fun
people very fond of party games. Favourites include I Spy Therefore I
Am, Deconstruct the Parcel, and Pin the Tail on the
Externalised Image of the Long-eared Quadruped.
what is time mr.
wolf? The game is based on the old favourite What’s the Time Mr.
Wolf , a simple and entertaining pleasure in which young children are
threatened with being eaten by a large predatory canine wearing a wristwatch.
This is a dumbed up version of the game in which the teams will ask questions
on the very nature of Time itself. The Wolf in our game is none other than the
eminent Professor of bioengineering Heinz Wolff.
what’s your
game? This game will be of interest to listeners with young children.
Incidentally, the chairman was discussing the smacking debate with the teams
earlier - he remembers nanny repeatedly pulling his trousers down to give
him a good smack on the bottom, and it never did him any harm. Although it did
make him late getting getting to the show that afternoon. In this game, one
team plays a game of their own invention while the other team attempts to guess
what it is called.
where am
i? In
this round each team has to magically transport the Chairman to a mystery
location by the use of mere sound affects alone.
who am
i? A
post-it note is attached to each panellist’s forehead with the name of a
certain famous person written on it. Each panellist can ask up to a maximum of
20 yes/no type questions to find out who they are. Next time they will try the
other version with the names written on the outside.
who wants to be in
finisterre? Based on ITV’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire show.
Panellists are asked questions about the shipping forecast.
whose
dustbin? The chairman has especially commissioned a team of researchers to
take the dustbins from outside of the home of certain celebrities or
organisations. The object of the game is to identify the bin’s owner by
careful examination of its contents. Actually, Tim
Brooke-Taylor may be at something of an advantage here as he spent some
time working for Reading council as a dustman researching his next role -
as a dustman for Reading council.
word for
word One
team member starts by uttering a word drawn from a selection limited only by
his imagination. His team mate should then say a word completely unconnected
with the one before. The opposing team may challenge if they notice a
connection.
worst
sellers There is nothing worse than badly written English to make
Humphrey’s goat boil. The teams are
asked for suggestions for book titles that fail to hit the mark.
worst things to
hear It’s all about those little phrases you might inadvertently
overhear and immediately wish you hadn’t. One that instantly that springs
to mind is And now an extended edition of You and Yours.
wuthering
hillocks The teams are asked to suggest low budget remakes of popular books
and films.
