Get to Know About Above the Average
Have you ever wondered how your wild guesses stack up against the real world? Above the Average turns that curiosity into a riotous party game: you’re handed a card with a quirky question—like “How many selfies does the average person take in a week?”—and everyone secretly writes down a number. Then you all slap your answers on the table, reveal them in unison and see who came closest to the actual average that the game has vetted by real surveys. It’s a delicious mix of intuition, bravado and “Did they really eat 40 tacos last month?” moments.
Each round unfolds fast. You draw a question card, read it aloud with a little dramatic flair, and everyone scribbles down a guess. As soon as the numbers are out there, you compare them to the card’s official average, hand out points to the nearest predictions (bonus points if you nail it exactly!), and pass the deck on. There are no complicated rulebooks or steep learning curves—just laughter as you discover who among your friends is weirdly spot-on about how many hours people binge-watch or how many pets fill an average home.
What makes it charming is how conversational it gets. You’ll find yourself trading personal anecdotes—“I swear, my cousin watches eight hours of sitcom reruns daily!”—while mentally trying to blend groupthink with gut instinct. That banter is half the fun; you’ll campaign to persuade the table that your wild theory about average shoe sizes or online shopping habits is definitely the winning pick. Between rounds, you’ll tease, debate and maybe even flip the table in mock outrage when someone’s guess edges you out by a single digit.
By the end of the night, you don’t just tally points—you’ve collected a hilarious snapshot of how your crew views the world’s habits and quirks. It’s light enough to break the ice with new friends, yet engaging enough to become a staple at gatherings. If you’re into games that spark conversation, spark laughter and leave you thinking “Wow, I really thought people flossed seven times a week?” then Above the Average is a must-bring to your next get-together.
