This game is pretty self-explanatory and easily played. The host can make a sign with the instructions printed out asking players to leave signed answer sheets in a box. Keep the game going or open until somewhere near the end of the night.  After the time is up have someone check the guesses alongside the correct answers. Give a prize to the closest guess, have something to give for each answer.

This game appeals to partygoers and gets people talking! Everyone loves a "silent auction"; this being reminiscent of such an event. It is pretty simple and fun to put together, good luck!
