WHAT is an hilarious party game based on entertainment of "who-said-what." Humorous questions or situations are presented, and each one invents the answers. The twist here is that everyone doesn't have to tell the truth while giving the answers. Everyone tries the best to respond with the silliest, bizarre, or the most shocking words possible to become visible and puzzle the others.
The challenge in WHAT is attempting to determine who wrote what response. With responses ranging from the ridiculous to the ridiculously witty, it's anyone's call. If you'd rather give an answer that says a little something about yourself or to totally mislead people, it's all fair. The game can be played with 5 to 17 players, so it's perfect for big parties.
WHAT is ideal for parties and social events where surprise and laughter are the keys to enjoying the game. You'll be busy during the game trying to outwit your friends with ridiculous responses and intelligent guesses, all in a continuous exchange of laughter. The more imaginative and surprising your responses are, the better you stand a chance of winning.
Honesty may not exactly get you out of WHAT, but coming up with the silliest or most humorous responses might. So if you want to take your party game to a whole new level, grab WHAT and get ready for a night of surprise fun! Let the jokes begin!

I swear there is a different game that is exactly the same concept as this one. I just can't remember the name. I'm sure the rules vary ever so slightly to justify a while new game.

I tried asking what people wanted to play and the name of this game was very confusing since nobody understood that What? is the name of the game. They liked it once we played it though.
