How To Play Who Am I
The concept of Who Am I is based around the ideas that each player is allocated a famous person (or thing), but they don’t know who or what they are.
Then you take it it turns to ask yes/no questions about who you are to the other players, in order to work out who your person is.
So that all other players can all see who you are without having to remember, it is common for each player to be given a post-it note with the name of who they are written on it.
They then stick this on their forehead, where they can’t read it, but everyone else can. This is why the game is sometimes known as the post-it note game.
