What happens if I guess my celebrity correctly?

If you guess your celebrity correctly, you get to assign drinks to other players. Pick wisely and target players who might be catching up to you.

What if I accidentally see my own celebrity name?

If you see your own name, you'll need to put it back and take a penalty drink before drawing a new one. Make sure you're careful when picking or sticking names to avoid accidental peeks.

What counts as a 'wrong guess'?

Any incorrect attempt at guessing your celebrity's name, or asking a question that can't be answered with yes or no, counts as a wrong guess and means you have to drink.

What happens if multiple people finish guessing at the same time?

If multiple players guess their celebrities at once, they all get to assign drinks, but only the first person to shout their answer is considered the winner. Anyone else still has to play until everyone has guessed or given up.

Tips & Strategies

Choose celebrities or characters everyone in the group is likely to know; obscure picks slow the game and lead to more drinking penalties. Ask broad yes/no questions early, like 'Am I alive?' or 'Am I an actor?' to narrow down your options faster. Watch other players' body language when you're close to guessing,nervous laughs or smirks often mean you're onto something. If you're assigning drinks after guessing correctly, target players who are close to winning to slow them down.
