Emoji Guess

The quizmaster posts a few emojis and the group guesses the dish, place or festival they stand for. It is the easiest game to start in a quiet group, because everyone can try and wrong guesses are funny too.

Players: 3 or more
Time: 10 to 20 minutes
You need: Only your phones
Ages: 8 and above
Type: WhatsApp group games

How to play

Tell the group the topic, for example "Guess the Indian dish".
Post one emoji puzzle at a time, with its number.
The first member to type the right answer gets one point. Spelling mistakes are fine.
If nobody gets it in two minutes, give a hint, such as the first letter.
After ten puzzles, announce the winner and let them set the next round.
