Strike a light

How To Play Two party guests leave the room and together decide upon a word that the rest of the group will try to guess. They then return to the room and start a conversation together based around their chosen word, trying to give clues to what the word is but without, of course, actually saying the word itself.

When a guest thinks they know what the secret word is, they must say, I strike a light, then whisper their guess to one of the two original players. If they guess correctly, they can join in the conversation with the two players. If theyre wrong, they must carry on until they guess correctly. The game ends when all the players have guessed what the word is.
