All Challenges All The Time discussion

I absolutely love the game Scattergories! I can play that game all day everyday. I have seen other Scattergories challenges in other groups so I decided to create my own challenge All Challenges All the Time sytle!

Specifics
♥ Each round of Scattergories will last for 3 months
♥ We will be using the real dice for this...I will roll the dice in the presence of one of my family members so that they see what I rolled (so no one can say I cheated :D)
♥ For this first round I will start with categories that are easy and basic~ but as the rounds continue the categories will be getting harder. I also will use real categories from the Scattergories game cards.
♥ You don't have to do all categories
♥ One book per category

its fine jingles. you can still sign up. if u need help just ask :)

Great! I'll use message #7 as my spot to link to. I fix it up properly now.

Okay, I already have a question. Going by Brianna's message #6, we have to cover all 12 categories to get one point, is that correct?

Or is it every time we read a book that fits a category, we get a point?

For example, if I read by Diana Gabaldon, and it fits: Title, Author (D = Diana), and Soft Cover Book, would I get three points for just this book?

Or do I have to fit books to cover all 12 categories and then claim my first point?

And also, maybe it's only one book for one category? In other words, I could only use for only 1 of the twelve categories?

Am I making sense?

Gotcha. Thank you, Brianna.

@ Jingle:

It's one book per category and the book you have will count for one point.

Brianna basically explained everything the way I would in Post 13.

If you need anymore help, let me know

@ Brianna:
Thanks for explaining and everything you said is correct :D

Hi Joanne. Can you check my post #7 to make sure my cover item (dress) is okay.

I think it is, but just in case.

yes jingles its fine

I'm up to five points. Wooohoo! I updated my original post.

I'm really having fun with this challenge. I'm not very good at it, but I'll get better with practice.

:)

Congrats Jingles! I know, it's tough but fun! I keep trying to get double points but can't seem to get it.
I think one of my books might be, but I'm not sure.

And I just can't seem to get Character name or Location! lol! It's been fun to try though!

I can't wait to see what the next letter is!!

Trisha wrote: "Would The Dead Girls' Dance also be double?"

Way to go, Trisha.

I still have several categories to fill, but I have two books for a couple of them.

Done! Post #5, 13 points total

Good luck to everyone!!!
