Blank Slate Rules — Wentworth Hall Beer Olympics 2026

Blank Slate

Do your best to match the answer of exactly one other player to finish the Word Cues and gain points. Too obvious and everyone matches. Too weird and no one does. The sweet spot is everything.

Setup

Each player selects a dry-erase Slate and a dry-erase marker.
Every person will play.
Each player writes their name on the scoreboard in the color bar matching their slate color.
The youngest person selects first.

Gameplay

Select a Word Cue card from the draw side of the table. Read it aloud and place it face-up on the table. The cue has a blank space either before or after a word.

Example Word Cue

COLD _____

Possible answers: OUT • TURKEY • SODA • SHOULDER

Write Your Word

Secretly

Every player secretly writes a single word on their Slate to complete the phrase.

Reveal Answers

One by One

Once all players have locked in an answer, the person who drew the card starts the round. Moving clockwise, each player reveals their word one-by-one.

Score the Round

Record on the Scoreboard

Points are awarded based on how many people wrote the exact same word. Record your score on the scoreboard.

Clean Slates & Repeat

Next Round

You found the perfect middle ground with one other person.

3 or more players match
