In this game, the host will start with a secret topic (“codeword”) in mind. The host will then post a fact about that secret topic. Players will try to guess what that codeword is by submitting single questions to the queue.
Here are some rules:
1. The host will post one fact at the beginning of the game. After two guesses, the host should then post another fact to help players narrow down their options.
2. Players must submit their single question to the queue before making a guess. You may guess twice in a row as long as the host has responded to your first guess.
3. The host has the final say over whether or not your codeword guess is accurate enough.
4. The player who guesses correctly becomes the next host.

So, do I have to write a question about my guess before I can guess? Reply #2. Mar 23 24, 6:53 PM |

Yes, please submit your single question (which will match the topic of your guess) before you post it here. Reply #3. Mar 23 24, 6:56 PM |

I'm a little confused how this game works as well. Are we trying to guess a historic woman (i.e. Marie Curie) or a codeword that relates to a woman historically (i.e. Bloomer)? I submitted a question on female Russian athletes so I'll post a question once I know how to frame it, haha. Reply #5. Mar 24 24, 4:57 PM |

Apologies for the unclear instructions! "Are we trying to guess a historic woman (i.e. Marie Curie)..." Yes, my codeword is a historic woman. You should write a question about a historic woman, then put that as your guess here. Reply #6. Mar 24 24, 5:20 PM |

It is not Queen Victoria, sorry! Time for another hint. 1. This is a woman who became famous historically. 2. She was involved in the field of medicine. Reply #11. Mar 28 24, 5:19 AM |

That's a good guess, but no sorry, that is not the codeword. If the next player doesn't get it correct, I will give another hint. Reply #13. Mar 29 24, 12:30 PM |
