Playing "Heads Up"
Welcome back to Pochi Bubble Tea’s “Spill the Tea” Podcast! On this episode of “Spill the Tea”, our hosts Megan, Sai, Ralph, and Malyn sit down to play a game that you might already know and love – “Heads Up”! As they test their best acting and impression abilities, our hosts share a ton of laughs as they decide who is the most skilled at this classic game!
For those who may be unfamiliar with “Heads Up”, the rules are as follows:
Each player chooses a category from a choice of “Superstars”, “Act It Out”, “Blockbuster Movies”, “Animals Gone Wild”, “Accents and Impressions”, and many more!
With the category cued up, the first player will place the phone on their forehead as the timer counts them down.
The remaining players will now try to act out/impersonate the word or descriptor on the screen.
If the player with the phone against their head is able to guess the word correctly, they tilt the phone downwards to move to the next word. If they are unable to guess the word, they will then tilt the phone upwards to skip to the next word.
The player with the phone to their heads score will be determined at the end of the category (about sixty seconds) and show which words they guessed correctly or incorrectly.
Once each player receives a turn to choose a category and test out their knowledge, the group will then compare scores at the end to determine who is the ultimate “Heads Up” winner!
If you want to follow along with our hosts during the episode, feel free to play along and leave a comment below of how many words you were able to guess correctly!
First up we have Megan with her chosen category “Icons, Legends, and Stars”! Since it’s the first round, the hosts decide to use the category as a test run – and Megan as their test subject! One by one the words pop up on the screen, and to their surprise, the category was much harder than they thought! Unfortunately for Megan, she is unable to guess any of their impressions, and therefore starts off with zero points – better luck next time!
Next is Sai with her chosen category “Animals Gone Wild”! From jellyfish to chipmunks to Daddy Long Leg spiders, Sai sweeps the board clean as she guesses each impression with ease! Ralph is next guessing, and chooses “Accents and Impressions”! Although Megan wasn’t the best guesser in her round, she redeems herself and takes Ralph to victory through impressions ranging from New Jersey accents to Slyvester Stalone’s iconic low grumbling tone. Malyn also tries her hand at the game, navigating through the “Pop Culture” category with topics such as TV shows, holidays, and famous musicians.
Here over at Spill the Tea, we’ve never claimed to be great at keeping score! Although our hosts make their way through the rounds, in the end, everyone is able to reflect on their good efforts and, well, somewhat subpar acting skills! With plenty of laughter, tea, and good conversation, this episode of Spill the Tea is one you won't want to miss. Leave us a comment below if you were able to beat our scores, and let us know what other games we should play!
