I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THIS GAME IN ENGLISH
For the month of August, the Neighbors Club (a.k.a. the Friendless Losers Club) will be playing a game that's a little something like Twenty Questions! There's a storm, so it's not like they have anything else better to do, right?
Wait, what is the Neighbors Club?
The Neighbors Club is a club Yozora founded in her canon. It's a club that aims to help those without friends become "normals" or riajuu and make friends. Their activities often involve playing games, acting exercises, playing games, going places, playing games... Actually, they do nothing but play games. But that should be fine, right!? More info here. If your character wants to join, they can sign up there and talk about/handwave them joining, too.
So what's this game we're playing this month?
This site has short videos that will help you visualize the setup. No, no one is getting in a ridiculous chair and wearing an electronic sign on their head. The point of the game is to guess the word. Simple, right? Person A (the person with the sign on their head) has to ask Person B about it. However! Person B can only answer with a "Yes" or "No".
The Neighbors Club version has a twist: instead of nouns in general, people have to guess the name of a person.
What are the mechanics? What will the log look like?
I have an example up here. Threading with myself? Still the saddest thing ever. Hopefully, that will give you guys an idea of what the log will look like! Here are the instructions:
What does my character win?
We all just won $2000 from the landlord. What the hell, you guys. Shame on you. Seriously though, the pair with the most points gets enough lunch money from Yozora. But no one knows that ICly... just that Yozora has a big prize in store.
Sounds like fun! How will this work?
There will be 9 teams. Each team will get 3 rounds each. That's a total of 27 rounds.
So we'll only get to tag our teammate for this activity?
Threadjacking is fine! Make sure to ask the other person if it's okay. If it's a reaction to something someone said and won't affect the players of the round, just go for it.
Why aren't there more slots!?
Because Yozora gets nauseous around crowds and setting these things up is hard.
My character is not a part of the Neighbor's Club, but I want to join!
No problem! Yozora or another member of the club could have roped them in somehow shortly before the game begins. This will be handwaved.
Any comments, suggestions, concerns and plotting threads are welcome in this post!

The name of a person is in the subject title, but will be ICly displayed behind the person who has to do the guessing (Person A). Another person (Person B) has to help Person A guess the name of the person correctly by answering their Yes or No questions. ICly, there's a time limit for each round, but OOCly we'll place this at 10 comments per character, making each round 20 comments total.I will be getting 17 players for this activity. These players plus Yozora will be randomly sorted into teams of two. Work together to win something big!

Sounds like fun! How will this work?
1. Comment here to sign up. Sign-ups will close when we reach 15 people (excluding Yozora) OR by Sunday evening GMT +8 - whichever comes first. One character per mun, please! SIGN-UPS ARE CLOSED.How many teams and rounds will there be?
2. List down names your character would know AND your OOC team up preferences here. Comments are screened.
3. Wait for the log and the final list of players and teams to go up. This will happen within the 24 hours after slots are filled.
There will be 9 teams. Each team will get 3 rounds each. That's a total of 27 rounds.
