Game Idea: Shopping Mall Challenge
This is a simple, casual game that is easy to execute, fun but not too daunting for guests!
Great for Company Dinner & Dance, Annual Dinners, or if you just want to find out who’s been to the most shopping malls in your office.
How to Play
Gather 4-10 contestants on stage (you can try to ask for those who love shopping for comedic effect)
Emcee will read out the name of a Shopping Mall in Singapore
If the contestants think it is a real name, they put both hands on their head. If they think it is not a real name, they put both hands on their butt
Those who are wrong are eliminated from the game and leave the stage
Play till we have the last person remaining on stage, is the winner

Tips
In my experience, Junction 9 and 10 will eliminate many players. Most people don’t know that both exist.
If you want to make it challenging for your contestants, try to say similar mall names one after another e.g. Sim Lim Tower, Sim Lim Square, Sim Lim Mall
Keep the formatting such that in one page you can see all the real and fake options (I just write them all in one continuous line), and don’t have to do a lot of paper flipping or scrolling up or down during the event.
