6 June: Petros Papapanagiotou

This is a common, "get-to-know-each-other" game where we share interesting (or, better, embarrassing!) stories. The stories get shuffled and we need to guess which story belongs to which person.

Details

Each person writes a short, true story or experience that happened to them on a paper along with their name.

A mediator then picks 3-4 (depending on the size of the group) people at random to become storytellers. Their stories are shuffled and redistributed to them. Each storyteller then reads the story they are given (which may or may not be theirs).

The rest of the group then asks a limited number of questions (usually 3) to each storyteller to try and figure out which story belongs to which storyteller.

The storytellers have to pretend the story they read is theirs and answer the questions accordingly.

We would strongly suggest that you have a think or even write down your story in advance.

It should be no more than 3-4 sentences and with no identifiable elements (so that it could be anyone's story).
