Pinoy Henyo Game
Pinoy Henyo has been a craze here in the Philippines. The game
is as popular as Eat Bulaga itself. I am not sure when did the
game exactly began although its been a long time now since it
was started, this is one of the most awaited portion in Eat Bulaga.
In fact, Filipinos appreciate it so much, they use it as ice breaker or as games for
any social gatherigs like christmas parties and more. Its seems rather simple to
do and anyone can do it anytime of the day and anywhere they are.
It is a great way to exercise the brains or if you just want to kill time
while having fun.It has even become a past time for some students
when they have no classes.It also has already been named as
pambansang laro ng pilipinas or a national or official game of the
Philippines.
It was called Pinoy Henyo with the word henyo or genius. Its really a
mind game. The mechanics of the game is actually very simple. You
will just need to guess a word which is on your forehead.
It is played by pair. The one will ask the question and the one will give
answer but the answer is limited to 3 short answers like YES -oo,
NO-Hindi or CAN BE-Puede.
The guesser has no idea what is written on his or her forehead. It
depends on how well you ask questions and how well the answer of
your partner that you both can arrive at the exact answer.
Ofcourse you can start with the Broader ideas. Most of the time, easy
words are used because its really time consuming to guess a word
or a term or anything under the sun in just a limited time which is
around 2 minutes.
For example if the word is Cat. its fairly easy to guess, unless the
guesser ask if that is an animal. The categories are broad and if dont
get it quickly your time will just run out. so if you say its an animal,
there are many kinds of animals and you need to think how you can
limit your choices so you would ask if it lives in water, land or air. You
just ask and ask anything and the your partner will answer it. However,
if your partner said other words than the 3 words one can receive
deductions in time.
