Monikers is a fast-paced party game where players race against the clock to guess the names of famous and historical figures. Across three increasingly challenging rounds, clues evolve from free description to a single word, and finally to full-on charades.
Monikers is a hilarious, high-energy party game played in three distinct phases, each using the same deck of name cards. Players split into teams and take turns trying to get their teammates to guess as many names as possible before time runs out. In Round 1, you can say almost anything about the person—except their name. In Round 2, you’re limited to just one word as a clue. In Round 3, words are forbidden entirely, and only charades will do. Because the same cards appear in every round, clever clues and shared memories built early on become the key to success later, leading to laughter, inside jokes, and unforgettable moments.
