How to play
Two people hold a large sheet or blanket up as a screen. Choose one contestant to stand on each side without letting them see who they're up against, and bring a few people forward at once so it stays a surprise. The group counts down from three and the sheet is dropped. The two contestants race to say each other's name, and whoever gets it right first wins. Don't play this as your first game of the night, because if neither contestant knows the other's name it falls flat. Save it for once a group has spent a bit of time together.
