the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How game
help
An old favorite from my youth. My siblings and I would arrange in a circle, each with a slip of paper and a pencil. Questions would be posed in the order as above. After each reply, the paper would be folded to conceal ones entry and then passed to the person sitting to ones left, who would await the next question . Not knowing what was written prior, resulted in a very amusing finished product. Tradition demands the game always begin with [who lost it?] followed by [what did they lose?], and so on. Each time the queries cycle, they are altered, for instance [who found it?] [who offered a reward?] and so on until the game is called. Hope you enjoy it. -Falstaff

Maybe we could all write down our answers to the questions at home on a piece of paper, then *not* post them. That way the secrecy element of the game could be preserved.
... or even better! Plan a 'group simulpost'
[hmm - that looks a bit depraved in print]
Ok chaps - synchronise your timepieces ...
How's about while we sit around thinking of logistics, I start a gma we can play. I think it's called Mornington Crescent, though maybe it was SOund Charades... Anyway, Tooteridge and Whetstone, home at Goodge Street.
wasn't sitting around or thinking of logistics
but I will join in with ... Poddington. Home declared at Burnt Eek.
OK, then. Ooval, home at Elephant & Caastle. I think the group simulpost idea might work, although I can't help thinking the best way of implementing this game would be to use hide tags, but special ones which would only be revealed after n moves have been made, where n is a suitable size of round. This would involve a bit of spanner-twiddling behind the scenes, however, and I doubt our host would feel it was worth it for just one game. (Although we could later use it to play Consequences or any number of other variations!)
