Okay, I haven't tested this game out yet but I'll write the rules for it first.

Objective: To match your answers with your teammates' answers. Hence, the terms, 'Great Minds Think Alike.'

How: The host (emcee) will give out a word (or category) and each team member needs to type out the first two words that come to their mind.. when hearing the category.

Here is a step-by-step process:

Step 1: Split players into two teams. MC picks a number between 1-10 and asks players to guess. Closest team goes first.

Step 2: MC gives out a word or category. Anything will do. MC asks the first team (Team A) to type out two words (any two words) and asks the players to refrain from pressing enter until MC says so. (Maybe give 30 seconds - a minute)
EX: MC gives out the word: beach

Step 3: MC asks team members to press enter and MC checks for matching words. MC counts how many matching words and gives one point per matching.

EX: Team A goes first:

Member 1: water, girls
Member 2: trees, view
Member 3: Bathing suit, bikini
Member 4: bikini, girls

MC sees that there's a matching answer of "girls" so gives Team A 1 point. MC sees member 3 and member 4 with "bikini" so MC gives another point. Adds up to 2 points for team A.

If no matching words exist, team gets NO POINT.

Rules:
- Only one point per word. For example, if three people types out "girls," it's still considered as one word which is one point.
- When team A is playing, team B cannot participate.
- Each player can only type out two words.
- Technically, you can type out any two words (even if it doesn't relate to the category)... but please try to keep it as related as possible.
- Do not press enter until MC commands to do so. (this will filter out the cheating)

NOTE: There will be adjustments to the rules. If you guys (TA, Jenna, Cutie, or anyone) want to alter the rules, please feel free to do so. I haven't tested this game out yet, so if there's any way to make it better, please.. be my guest.

Here are some possible words or categories for MC:
Beach, wedding, anniversary, Christmas, holidays, Valentines, water, house, family, sisters, brothers, body, face, expressions, nouns, adjectives, outdoors, indoors, kitchen.... and more and more and MORE!

Really, ANY will do. Even "apple" is a good category. LOL.

Ah cool! I want to play. Is there anyway to disable the players' whisper and PM functions? :)

Edit:
1) Love the game
2) One word only is a good start
3) About 5 seconds to think (should be the first thing that comes to mind anyway) and type
4) Accept answers up to 1 second after the MC said "Enter" (the MC may type "Done" so that any answers after the MC has typed "Done" will not be accepted)
