May the funniest definition win.<br \/>3) The hidden identity game Push The Button (4-10 players) . Can you discover the aliens in time?<br \/>4) The comedy contest Joke Boat (3-8 players). Craft one-liners for a cruise ship talent show.<br \/>5) The offbeat personality test Role Models (3-6 players). Find out who you really are.
