Fun Physical Party Games

Active, Medium Group, Party Games, Small Group

Botticelli

Medium Group, Party Games, Small Group, Stationary, Talking Games

Botticelli is a strategic question game similar to other guessing games like 20 Questions.

Questions are asked to work out who this celebrity is, but with some quick thinking and general knowledge the choosing player can avoid answering the questions directly.
