Awkward Christmas Photos is absolutely hilarious and super simple. Not only is the game amazing, but you can build a whole night around the game and make it an awkward Christmas party!
ITEMS NEEDED – Awkward Christmas Photos, 1 Phone Per Team, Area with People
GAME TIME – 30-60 minutes (depends on size of group)
PARTICIPANTS – Teams of 3-5
INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare, you need to find 10-20 awkward Christmas photos. You know, the kind of photos that make you either laugh or cringe. Find your own photos our use these Awkward Christmas Photos.
Once you’ve selected the Awkward Christmas photos you want to you use, text them to at least one person on each team. Their job is then to recreate as many awkward Christmas photos as possible with their team, but there is a catch!
Each team must include at least one person they do not know in the photo (many photos require them to have several extra people in them). Their job is to recreate photos to the best of their ability. These photos will be given points, which break down as follows:
# of People in Photo from Team- 1 Point
Strangers in Photo – 2 Points
OPTIONAL ***
Best Overall Photo Re-Creation (of each photo you sent out) – 3 points (some photos may only have one re-creation depending on the amount of teams, so award them the points)
Give teams 30-60 minutes to go out and do their best job to find people to recreate the photos with. Simply look at the photo, get into place and then have someone snap a picture of your recreation on their phone. Have them text you the photos when they are done and score them.
We highly recommend that you put together a slideshow of photos taken alongside the original for everyone to see. If you have time, show them later that day or post them on social media for everyone to enjoy.
Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is the winner!
