I've played a game like this before for a baby shower. All the candy bars had a related title but tonight, they had pages and pages of questions and treats to give to the "winner" of the question.
I thought it was interesting that when they would ask the question, the woman leading the game would ask several people more details about their situation to find a winner and I learned quite a bit about women in my church congregation tonight.
Some of the questions needed a bit of modifying as some of them didn't give specific details or more than one person had a similar situation so know that you can modify the answers to fit your group.
Each person could only win one treat so that the more outgoing in the group don't end up with all the treats and the more reserved don't end up with anything.
There were a few ladies that would have ended up with a handful of treats but as soon as they all had their winnings, it was fun to see how the more quiet women would speak up or that someone that knew them would suggest that they get a specific treat for something and then they would open up and share. I didn't know that the woman that lives just across from me on my street lived without electricity or running water for three years while her husband would check the railroad line in remote areas.
They decorated the tables with old family heirlooms and she pointed to a gas powered iron and said she used to use one like that when she lived there. I am thinking to myself, "What would you need to iron for if you were that far in the middle of nowhere?" but they used to iron everything back then so it was interesting to learn and I had actually never seen a gas powered iron before so that was interesting.
I think this game would be great for a family reunion, group party, church party, baby or wedding shower as well.
Here is the list of the candy bars or treat that goes with the question.

Some of these candy bars may be hard to find. The woman over the game went to a grocery store, a hardware store and then the gas stations. She said the gas stations had a better selection than Walmart which is probably true.
I was the winner of the "Cute, distinctive or funny laugh" which was fine with me as Snickers is one of (if not my) favorite candy bar so I was fine winning that one. They did add a few of their own questions and had one about who has won a big prize. They gave out a $100,000 bar for that prize.
You would think I would have won that but I am kinda quiet when it comes to those type of games. I didn't say anything and towards the end, got the Snickers as I guess no one wanted to claim they had a distinct laugh so my friend pointed at me.
You can see once you get creative how you could alter the questions for a group. They didn't do all of these questions and she left out several she didn't feel comfortable asking but I included them all here so you can cater it to your party and group.
Have fun!
