Poker Face

Embarrassing sentences on slips of paper, read them out with a straight face. Whoever laughs drinks.

How to play

Everyone writes funny, embarrassing or intimate sentences on small slips of paper. All slips go into a bowl.

Take turns drawing a slip and reading it out loud – without any expression. Whoever laughs, grins or stops drinks.

Theme slips: everyone writes lines on a theme – song lyrics, ad slogans, love confessions.
Read to the group: one person reads, everyone else has to keep a straight face.
With an accent: slips must be read out in an assigned accent.

Lines that don’t embarrass anyone personally work best – people still laugh.
