Take aways may include: sharing how you experience others in the group, hearing how you are experienced, checking assumptions we have about others.

Parameters: More than 2 people. If there are more than 10 in your group, form small groups of 5-10 people. Can be played in person or virtually.

After explaining the following directions, ask who consents to potentially be Mx. Whosit. The lead secretly chooses another person in the group to be Mx. Whosit. Go around the circle and give each person in the group a turn to try to find out who the lead is thinking of. They ask questions like, “If Mx. Whosit were a color...” or any other category they can think up, and the lead responds. Often, the most creative categories can be the most telling (and remember, the lead shouldn’t respond with the color Mx. Whosit is wearing, but the color Mx. Whosit is). When the entire group has had their chance to pose a category, go around the circle once more and let each person guess who they think is Mx. Whosit. Then let the lead reveal the true identity of Mx. Whosit, and have everyone talk about why they guessed who they did, and what answers surprised them. Let Mx. Whosit share what was accurate and what wasn't.
