    Have you ever played 'Chinese Whispers'?

    If so, what was the result?

    My boss started it at work, when a whole group of new employees had just started with the company, that morning. He was very upset when the final result was whispered in his ear. He found absolutely no humor in it.

    Never played it, but I have suffered from it, it can be an extremely funny game, but it is sometimes played out in real life, and that never has a good outcome.

    That's not very nice. Mrs. There and I could have a very fun visit, I'm sure. We might even let you join us....for a few minutes. lol

    Thankfully I've never heard of it.

    It's a social 'mixer' Tommy. You should love it, you party animal. haha

    A message went down the line of soldiers,"Send reinforcements we are going to advance,"the answer came back."Send three and fourpence we are going to a dance."i guess that is what you call Whispers..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<..

    Exactly!

    Never heard of it but always wanted to try the experiment. I'm glad there's a game for it. I'm not ever in a social standing of enough people to play. It sounds like it would be good for David......

    You need a group of people.

    We played that game in Brownies.......under a different name. It was fun. The outcomes were astounding. It's a childrens' game

    It's also used as an 'adult mixer'. That's the only situation in which I have seen it.
