This is a fun game for large groups in a physical meeting. Everyone has to guess the name of the famous figure written on their back, by asking yes or no questions. The person who guesses their Secret Identity first wins!
How to do it
For this icebreaker, you’ll need a marker, some sticky tape, and a piece of office paper per person.
Get everyone to secretly write down the name of a famous figure on the piece of paper. It has to be a figure that everyone in the room would know about, e.g. a famous historical figure, an actor or sports celebrity, a politician, a cartoon character, and so on (not too easy, not too obscure!). Then, ask them to sticky tape the name on the back of the person on their left.
Everyone then has to go around and ask people yes or no questions about who is on their back. They can only ask each person one question, and then move on. The person who guesses their Secret Identity first wins, but keep the game going until everyone has guessed their Secret Identity (as long as it doesn’t take more than 10 minutes!).
