Who am I is a guessing game that can easily be played without a lot of material. All you need is sticky notes, a pen and a group of at least 2 players. However the more players participate, the more fun it becomes.
The game is based on yes and no questions who are supposed to help the players figure out who they are.
In the beginning each player gets a sticky note and writes down the name of a famous person that everyone in the group knows. This person can be fictive or real. Of course you can also agree to only play with characters who match a specific category such as musicians or Disney characters. When everyone is finished writing down a name they stick it on the head of another player. Most important: it is forbidden to look at the sticky note on your head as long as you have not successfully guessed your character!
Now all players sit down in a circle and the game begins. One player starts by asking a yes or no question to identify his character. It makes sense to start with general questions (am I male/female? , am I a fictive character? …) and get more specific later (am I a musician? , am I older than 25? ). The other players have to truthfully answer the questions. If the question can not be answered with either yes or no they are not allowed to answer. The guessing player is allowed to ask questions as long as an answer in “no”. Then the next player continues with asking questions about his own identity. Who ever manages to guess their identity is allowed to remove the sticky note from his or her head and continues by just answering the other players’ questions. The game ends when everyone figured out who they are. If some players take very long to find out their identity the other players can decide to give some hints.
If you want you can also play a different variation of the game such as “what am I?” (Instead of people the names of things such as apple, house or tree are written on the sticky note) or “Who are we?” which is a variation for a large group of players (Select someone to be “it” who has to leave the room. The rest of the group decides who they will be (for example surgeons or flight attendants). When “it” reenters the room he has to ask a yes or no question to each member of the group. The question has to be answered truthfully but it is allowed to create confusion. Afterwards “it” has to guess the main category.).
