Monikers Card Game
The Sixty-Second Shenanigan
An absurd guessing game where round one allows talking, round two allows one word, and round three descends into frantic silent charades.
Why we like this gift.
Dating someone new usually involves maintaining a carefully curated posture of cool competence. Monikers completely blows that apart in about ninety seconds. Because you reuse the same deck across three escalating rounds—from describing names aloud to gesturing silently like a deranged mime—you rapidly develop an absurd private dialect. It reveals a date’s sense of comedic timing and willingness to look completely ridiculous faster than almost anything else on earth.
