One player is the host of a party. They exit the room while the other players (the guests) are given character quirks by the audience, for instance a physical quirk, a person from history, a celebrity or an action they have to do whenever a certain thing happens. The host then comes back to the stage once and the guests ring the doorbell and enter the party one by one. The host has to guess the quirks while playing the scene of hosting the party.

### Purpose

This game is great for beginner improvisers when playing character for the first time, as they will tend to get caught up in the game and make bold character choices they wouldn’t usually make.

It’s also helpful for the host to learn “being in the shit” and being happy with making mistakes.

### Tips

* Guess lots and keep guessing. Don’t wait until you’ve got the right answer, have fun with getting it wrong.
* Justify why the guess was wrong.
* Play the scene of having a party while playing the game.
* Give focus to the host, don’t all talk at once.
* Have the guests interact to help the host out.
