Who wrote it? game: rules and printable kit

Collect one light fact per guest without names on the player sheet. Read facts aloud and reveal their authors after guesses.

Suggested group: 4–20

Set up and play

Give each guest a numbered fact slip. Guests privately tell the host their number and write one light fact without their name.
The host keeps a number-to-name key and reads slips in a mixed order.
Guests record a guess for each fact. Reveal only when the author is comfortable; allow a skip.

Finish the game

After the prepared facts, reveal and discuss. Optional scoring is one point per correct match. Keep the host key private and dispose of it after the event.
