Guesswork & bluff is required by teams as they venture into a curious world of intrigue.

A cross between the ‘Antiques Roadshow’ and ‘Call My Bluff’, The Curio Show is a fun & sophisticated icebreaker- the perfect complement to a post-conference evening meal.

The Curio Show features a diverse collection of objects that range from the intriguing to the downright bizarre, each of which could have many different uses. All the teams have to do is guess the age, value & intended use of each curio.

The first round of the game often takes place during pre-dinner drinks. The curios are displayed on numbered plinths around the room and the teams are invited to inspect and handle each object. The participants are encouraged to take a hands-on approach, to get a feel for each object – taking it apart if necessary. At the end of a further round, all the teams will have an opinion of each object & will have reached a team consensus.

After coffee, another round begins. Each team receives a written description as to the true identity, age & value of one of the objects. They have to then create two additional plausible descriptions & present them alongside the true description of the curio. The more convincing the made –up descriptions, the more they influence the other teams’ opinions on the curio. Frenzied  & colourful discussions take place as the real & fictitious descriptions are considered  &  debated. Finally, the true identity of each curio is revealed to the gasps & groans of the participants.

Intriguing, interactive & highly-entertaining, The Curio Show will create an evening to treasure.
