Photo Party

BE IN THE AIR WHEN THE CAMERA CLICKS!

 

Cocktail Games is a guarantee for unusual games and Photo Party is the latest proof for it! One player is named game master, he takes the pictures! Yes, he takes pictures, you need a digital camera for this game, even one with a self-timer; you can use one without, then the photographer counts loudly from 10 to 5 and then in a speed of his own choice from 5-0 before releasing the shutter. At the start of the game the game master defines the edges of the picture, so that players know which positions will guarantee them to be in the pictures, and then he chooses 12 task cards. For instance: Only your foot or arm may be visible, cover eyes of other players with your hands or arms and score for each player with hidden eyes, or - as a team of two form the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo, or run out of the picture and back into it before the click, at least one of your eyes must be in the picture!

The pictures are taken one by one, after reading out the task the game master waits for some time so that players can arrange themselves. The completed cards are set out in a row for scoring. When all pictures are taken you can score directly via computer or camera display or meet in the corresponding groups in social medias. You score what is in the picture, the yellow figurines on the task cards show you which positions score.

Photo Party is an absolutely unusual combination of group play and modern techniques including modern social Media, and also an absolutely crazy game that provides a lot of crazy fun, provided you are mobile and fast and can understand and implement instructions instantly!
