About the Game

Can you name an actor? Can you do it quickly? Can you quickly name an actor in response who's first name starts with the same first letter of the previous answer's last name??? Hope so, 'cause dems the rules.

Here's an example:

  • Marlon Brando

    • Betty White

      • Walter Matthau

And so on...get it?

Actor, RE: Actor is the celebrity name game that pits you against your friends in a round-robin actor naming competition! Use your phone or tablet or desktop browser to play along with your pals next to you on the couch, or across the country on the Internet.

Simply type in your answer and your opponents will act as your jury of peers. If the answer looks good, you get points! If the answer looks fishy, your pals can object and everyone can vote on its validity.

Different surprises can be discovered along the way depending on the names entered. Also, a variety of types of turns keep the gameplay fresh and keeps players on their toes.

Features:

  • Supports up to 8 players, combining local and online play with friends!

  • Change the theme from Actors to anything you group would like: superhero real names, high school classmates, famous wrestlers... you get the idea.

  • Change the winning score to higher for longer matches or lower for short games!

Gameplay:

  • If a player answers with a name that looks suspicious, be sure to hit the Objection button your browser to have a vote!

  • Answer with a single name like "Cher" to skip the next player's turn.

  • Answer a name with the same first letter like "Parker Posey" to reverse the order of play.

  • Answer a name with the first name and last name letters opposite the previous name to shuffle the order of play. Something like: "Delroy Lindo" played after "Larry David".

    • I'd like to accept this "Brand New Sentence Award" for being the first to use both Larry David and Delroy Lindo in the same sentence.

  • Keep your eyes open for the thief, who will aide a player who hasn't had a turn in a little while.
