Whose Voice Quiz

Perfect for end-of-term parties! Three team-based activities that will liven up the event

Split into teams; one team stands facing a wall while someone speaks, and the other teams listen with their eyes closed.

The goal is not only to identify whose voice it was but also to align your answers within your team.

If it’s too hard to get a perfect match, let’s award points based on how many people guessed correctly.
