Playest: Diplomanerds (Round 2 LIVE!)
Posted: 10 May 2018, 22:15For the last 2 years, Kimbyrle and I have run an annual quiz game called "Camp Nerdliest" The game is sort of a panel show like QI, or word play game like "Sez You", "Inconceivable" or "Ask Me Another"
As we prepare for the third installation, we'd like to playtest some of our questions with you to see what you think of them. Over the next few days, we'll post our sample rounds, and see how well you do at solving them (and perhaps taking that feedback and finetuning our question set)
Game Map
Round 1: Welcome to CAMP [Fully solved]
Round 2: A series by any other name[New!]
To start with, this is our draft of Round 1.
Round 1: Welcome to CAMP.
In this round, all answers will contain the letters CAMP in order (but not necessarily at the beginning of the word). For instance, “Someone in a horror movie who is way too excited about chopping off other people’s limbs” would be a maniC AMPutator.
1. An interrelated set of roleplaying adventures, or Obama 2012:
2. The grounds or buildings of a school, hospital, or other institution:
3. Originally a type of prawn, nowadays anything with garlic, lemon, and parsley:
4. To run away haphazardly, almost like a mouse:
5. The elongated ridges of the floor of each lateral ventricle of the brain, thought to be the center of emotion, memory, and the autonomic nervous system:
6. A cone shaped pasta with a ruffled edge, or a bell like flower:
7. It makes the impact of the astrological star signs much more intense.
8. Broadcasting yourself from your laptop in character? Better get into this:
