DIY FYI: Giant Guess Who

Looking for a new outdoor game to add to your arsenal?  
How about Giant Guess Who?


If your budget allows, you can purchase pizza boxes (or something similar) from ULINE.  Otherwise, consider contacting a local pizza place to ask for donations of unused boxes.  The boxes can be assembled inside out, so you needn't be concerned with label/logos/etc. detracting from the look of your game.  

Next, collect your desired images.  I chose Harry Potter characters because...well...Harry Potter. 🗲 

While it isn't essential, I opted to give each image a background color so I had two separate "game boards" and added the name of the character represented on the box.  That way, even if someone isn't familiar with the theme, they're still easily able to play and announce their chosen person, once they've reached that point in the game.

Lastly, you'll need a set of cards from which the players/teams will draw.  Depending on how long you'd like the game to stay intact, consider using cardstock or even laminating the finished products.

Just a note: make sure you have an idea of where to store the game when not in use.  (For reference, the game pictured in this post has 25 characters per side and is large and in charge when it comes to storage.)
