Description
The Fat Penguin is an ice-breaker. In the game, players take turns to ask a question of the others. Players secretly choose their answer (red/no or green/yes). Then the asking player has to guess individually what the other players answered for themselves. If the player is correct, then its penguin advances.
The questions varies from everyday-life tendencies and preferences, to life/death and ethical dilemmas, and funny/dirty questions. E.g.: “Have you in the past year used someone elses toothbrush?”, “Would you rather give up your mom’s love (green) og the respect of your friends (red)?”, “What is more unattractive: Too self-confident (green) or too shy (red)?”, “Routined sex three times a week (green) or exciting sex once every third week (red)?”
The game is intended as an ice-breaker at parties. The drinking-game variant makes the players take a shot of booze/beer if they are right or wrong.
The game is published in German “Der Fette Pinguin”, in English “The Fat Penguin” and in Danish “Den Fede Pingvin”. There is also a smartphone App version of the game (available in Danish for iPhone, and soon in English and German and also for Android).
