Party Guest

Party Guest is an improv game where one or more players act as guests at a party, each embodying distinct characters or characteristics. The host then tries to guess those characteristics or quirks. The scene typically involves:

  • A host who facilitates or interacts with the guests.
  • Each guest bringing a unique persona, quirks, or agenda, as suggested (in secret from the host) by the audience.
  • Interactions between the guest might reveal conflicts, secrets, or humorous situations.

As stated above, the goal, when played as a game, is that the host is trying to guess each character or trait.

BUT here is a key part. Sometimes the “host” just doesn’t know. Either they don’t pick up on the clues or a specific character game eludes them. That is where the other players have to help out.

This clip, from the Shoot from the Hip, is a great example of how sometimes the host can forget a common character (Bugs Bunny) and the other ‘guest’ can assist him.
