    Default The catchphrase game

    GENERAL RULES

    - One person posts a picture/question/riddle with any details the poster feels are necessary.
    - Everyone else tries to guess the picture/question posted or solve the riddle, whilst providing some details about their guess.
    - The person who guessed correctly then posts their own picture/question/riddle within 24 hours.
    - It is customary, though not an obligation, that the person who guessed correctly gets reputation from the original poster of the picture/question/riddle (or from another player/Gaming Staff if the OP cannot).
    - It is customary, though not an obligation, to post a hint every 24 hours if no one tried to guess it or in any case did not guess it right.
    - Anybody can take the turn if a picture/question/riddle isn't posted within 24 hours or if the person who guessed the last picture/question/riddle says that anybody can take his turn.
    - While no correct answer has been given, the member who posted a puzzle can pass their turn at any time. If after 2 weeks no answer has been confirmed as correct by the poster, any member can override the active puzzle by posting a new one. The staff/administration of TWC will at this point judge the validity of any outstanding answers to the superseded puzzle.
    - People are supposed to play fairly and to respect the other players and to do their best to ensure that the game keeps flowing. Blatant cheating, lack of respect, lack of input and so on and on might lead to the disqualification of the offending player for that round, this at the exclusive discretion of other players and/or Gaming Staff

    - Flinn


    A simple game, just post two or more images (preferably in spoilers leds) that put together make a phrase. The first correct guess takes the next turn.

    Eg.
    -Image of a dog followed by someone sleeping is 'dog tired'
    -Rock followed by a freezer could be 'stone cold' etc

    We may consider a catchphrase for this game to be any reasonably recognisable phrase. The very first answer in the thread as seen below is 'dead end'. Homophones such as eye/I and air/heir and visual symbolism/allegory are to be expected in this game.

    I think we can use our common sense to choose a phrase that others will be able to guess, and one that keeps the game flowing.

    If you're still not sure, I made the thread after watching this show and thinking it would be a fun game for us to emulate



    As Steven says, "All you have to do is say what you see. It can be a word or a saying, or even the name of a film". In the show they have phrases such as rough diamond, or daydream, and sayings like, "you can't make an omelette without breaking an egg".

    I'll start.

    Actually, I've thought of one. Might be a bit obscure.

    ^This was maybe a bit obscure. Think of the opening lyrics of the song in the second image.
