How to Play the Whisper Challenge Game

Have you ever heard of the Whisper Challenge? It’s an incredibly fun game that can be played anywhere, anytime. It's a great way to get a group of people laughing and having a good time.

This game is great as an icebreaker, to play at a sleepover party or any time you are wanting a fun easy to play game. All you need is at least two people and the willingness to try something new! Let’s dive in and learn how to play.

How do you play the Whisper Challenge Game?

This game is similar to the classic Telephone Game where you whisper a sentence in someone's ear and that sentence gets passed around until it gets back to the original person. This Whisper Challenge takes that original game and adds a fun twist.

The goal of the Whisper Challenge is for one person to try to read the other person's lips and guess what words or phrase they are saying. The catch is this person must be wearing noise-canceling headphones which are playing loud music.

The Whisper Challenge Game

The person who isn't wearing headphones must whisper a sentence or phrase, while the other person tries to guess it correctly. The person wearing headphones will then repeat what they thought their team mate was saying out loud, so everyone can hear it. This part is often where most of the laughs come from as some guesses can be quite creative or funny!

Decide on how you will allocate points before you start. You can give something like 2 points to the person wearing headphones for each correct guess, 1 point for a partially correct answer and no points for something completely wrong.

To make sure everyone has a chance to play, switch up who is wearing headphones and who is whispering. The game ends when everyone has had a turn or when one person or team has reached a set number of points.

The Whisper Challenge is a great game to play with your friends but you don't want to make it too easy to guess the words you are whispering. So try to find phrases and sentences that would be hard to guess.
