How to play Talk Like...
Speak only in that accent. Forever. Someone assigns you an accent or way of speaking. You must maintain it for the entire round while having a normal conversation. British, surfer, pirate, news anchor — whatever's called.

How to play
- Each player is assigned an accent or speaking style by the group.
- For the next 5–10 minutes, everyone speaks only in their assigned style.
- Have a normal conversation — the content is normal, the voices are not.
- If you break character, you earn a penalty point.
- Switch accents each round.
Example round
- Everyone is British. Someone asks what's for dinner. 'I dare say, a spot of pasta would be rather lovely.'
- Pirate vs. surfer conversation: 'Yar, the waves be gnarly today, matey!' 'Dude, totally, bro.'
- News anchor accent explaining why they're late to the party. Devastating.
Tips
- Best accents for chaos: surfer, pirate, Shakespearean, infomercial presenter.
- Give someone a style, not just an accent: 'speak like you're making an announcement'.
