Party Games
Want to move away from the computer and put a paparazzi game into real-life action? As part of a paparazzi-themed party, teams can compete to photograph the most celebrity lookalikes at a local mall. The leader sets up a home base and gives each team a list of celebrity lookalikes. Teams venture off to find lookalikes among mall patrons -- asking patrons' permission before taking pictures. Once both teams report back to the home base, the leader checks their photographs and awards a prize to the team with the best celebrity lookalikes.
