Family Fortunes

Recommended Posts

Hey GF,

 

I'm hosting a quiz night in which one of the contests on the agenda is Family Fortunes.

 

I've done it before, and it always ends up being a good laugh. One of the things I try and do is source the 100-person survey myself, and in the past the GF has been an invaluable outlet for reaching that mark.

 

So, if you have a spare minute, would as many people as possible be able to give answers to the 12 categories below?

 

You don't have to give it too much thought - in fact, it's probably more true if you don't - just put down the first thing that comes into your head. But can I ask, without being a massive killjoy, that you try and keep it serious. I appreciate comedy answers more than anyone, but it doesn't really help me in compiling genuine responses.

 

So without further ado, please can you:

 

1) Name a fairytale

2) Name a famous movie monster

3) Name something that rises

4) Name something slippery

5) Name something you put into a salad

6) Name something that you close your eyes to do

7) Name something that moves very slowly

8) Name something that makes you grumpy

9) Name a weapon used in ancient times

10) Name someone who wears white clothing

11) Name a place people ask you to 'be quiet'

12) Name something people make into a ball

 

Cheers in advance for any responses; they're all greatly appreciated.

Let us know what your players picked.

PS What's with the name change?

Will do.

 

Actually, if yourself or anyone else wants to use the results for their own game, just let me know and I'll share when I've collected them.

 

As for the name change, this has always been me. Not sure who you thought I was before.
