LookyFindy is a game that’s somewhat like a blend of Where’s Waldo, I Spy, MadLibs and a scavenger hunt. It’s an immersive gameplay experience in which you can actively be playing at all times in the day, no matter what activity you are performing, where you are or what time it is.
The rules are simple.
Goal: You or your team must try to find scenarios or things that match the “generated statements” described below.
Teams: If the total number of players is less than 5, this game is best played without teams. If there are more players, then teams of two (or more) are recommended. For example, for a class of 24, 6 teams of 4 would be appropriate).
Setup: There are two kinds of cards: Black “statement” cards have MadLibs-style blanks which can be filled with white cards, which contain nouns, adjectives, etc. A black “statement” card is pulled and shown to everyone. Each team is dealt n white cards. The teams stand in a circle, and, going counter-clockwise, fill the next blank in with a word of their choosing from their hand. This process can be repeated to have as many concurrent ’rounds’ as wished. We suggest 3 – 5, with a new black card and new white cards drawn each time. In another variation, each team does this setup process individually, to produce 1 statement per team.
Play: All teams will then have a set amount of time to find as many instances of any statements created by any team. The set time can be anywhere from 15 minutes to a week long or more! All teams can also be connected via a group chat system like Facebook Messenger, allowing everyone to communicate their finds real-time. When finding a statement, simply take a photo or video and share it with the group. Anyone can challenge a picture of whether or not it’s doctored or fake, and further proof must be given. Be sure to take multiple angles or a video to defend yourself!
Points: Each new instance found gives you a point. If your team is the first amongst the competition to find a statement, then your team gets 3 bonus points. The winner is the team with most points.
