Who it suits and when to play
Caption This suits witty groups of older children and adults: friends, cousins, office teams. All it needs is one funny photo, so it is ready in seconds. Use a picture of an animal, an object or a place rather than of a person; a caption game about someone's face or body stops being fun for that person very quickly.
How to play
- Post a photo: a pet, a street sign, a strange cloud, a baby's serious face.
- Give five minutes for captions. One caption per person.
- Members react with a laugh emoji to the captions they like.
- The caption with the most reactions wins. The winner posts the next photo.

Tips and variations
- Use your own photos. Do not use photos of strangers, and never make fun of how a person looks.
Common problems and how to fix them
- A caption makes fun of a real person. The host deletes it and reminds the group that captions are about the picture, not about people.
- Voting turns into friends voting for friends. Collect captions privately, post them without names, and reveal the writers after the vote.
- Nobody can find a good photo. Ask a member to photograph something odd at home, such as a pet, a bent spoon or a crowded shoe rack.
