117. Charades (Raka_Putra)


I thought about doing this entire writeup as a charade, but I realized the payoff wouldn't be worth the effort. Plus, I'm terrible at Charades, hence the low ranking. I'm terrible at any sort of game where you have to act something out or draw something without being able to talk. I can never figure out what to do, and I spend half the time just fumbling around trying to come up with something someone might get. It might be a combination of overthinking it and being a bit too self-conscious, I guess. I don't like doing things I'm bad at, even if it results in laughs. I don't know that I'd mind Charades as much if I could just guess all the time, but man, I don't like acting anything out. I'm even worse at Pictionary because I'm a terrible drawer. I dread it every time it's my turn to draw.

But yeah, I can see the appeal in Charades, and it can be funny. It's just not for me, or at least one half of the game isn't for me. I'm actually fairly good at guessing with these sorts of games, but if I'm going to play a guessing game, I'd much rather play something else entirely. I'll still take Charades over Pictionary any day though!

Bonus Question: What's your favorite "guessing" game?
