Let's test your players' sense of smell, how well they can distinguish different scents. Will they be able to guess that the hand cream has the scent of "wild orchid" and the tea has the aroma of "champagne with cream"? Of course, this is a joke, we won't be guessing such complex scents, but we'll explain how the contest will be made more challenging.

Scent Guessing Contest

how to play

The rules of the game are very simple: players, blindfolded, must guess the objects by their scent as they are brought to their noses. The player who correctly identifies the larger number of "fragrant" props is the winner.

Props

As you might have already guessed, you should strive to prepare items with distinctive scents. However, as always, you can make the task more difficult by choosing props with subtle scents, so that players have to "struggle" before naming the correct answer.

We suggest the following options for props for the contest:

  • Food products (fruits, vegetables, sausage, coffee, tea, fish).
  • Household chemicals (soap, shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, laundry detergent) - *for added complexity, ask players to name the scent of this chemical (shampoo with a lemon scent, etc.).
  • Cosmetics (creams, lipsticks, powder, perfume).
  • Flowers.
