This game idea was suggested by birdienl after I posted the Classic Literature In Other Words game back in July. Thanks birdienl!
The concept of this game is to identify the period drama couples based on the clues given. These couples are from various period dramas and classic literature stories. Some of these couples are not what you might call main characters but all of them get engaged and/or married during the course of their story.
I have a long list of couples so I chose randomly for this game. Let me know if you like this type of game and I'll do others.
To Play: Read the clues below and leave a comment guessing which period drama couple I'm thinking of and which period drama or story they come from. Guess as many times as you wish. I'll respond with your score. The answers will be posted next Saturday.
Scoring: Four points for each correctly guessed gentleman, lady and period drama (or classic story). A total score of 180 points can be earned.
Couple Clues:
Couple #1. Honorable but shy gentleman / Reserved and practical young woman
Couple #2. Literary tomboy / European professor
Couple #3. Scholarly scientist explorer / Caring physician's daughter
Couple #4. Noble lady who keeps many secrets / Her father's new heir presumptive
Couple #5. Long reigning monarch / Princely cousin
Couple #6. Advertising governess / Master with great secrets and no beauty
Couple #7. Kindly sister and as beautiful as an angel / Handsome friendly gentleman
Couple #8. Studious blind-sighted clergyman / Sweet and gentle cousin
Couple #9. Kind gentleman who seeks his origins / Depressed opera singer he rescues
Couple #10. Young upstart with high hopes / Beautiful trained enchantress
Couple #11. High-spirited jumping girl / Melancholic poetical sailor
Couple #12. Fiery Italian youth / There is the east and she is the sun
Couple #13. Money loving socialite / Mysterious secretary
Couple #14. Physician with red cutaway / Angelic clergyman's daughter
Couple #15. Poor newspaper journalist / Sister-in-law of a foolish man
Happy guessing!
Fun!

Melody,
ReplyDeleteYour guesses on couples 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 were completely correct. You also guessed the correct couple on #13 but forgot to mention the title of the period drama they come from (I know you know it though).
Your score is 152 points.
You would know #15 because I know you've seen it. You probably wouldn't know #4 because I know you haven't seen it.
Kiri Liz,
ReplyDeleteYour guesses for couples 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12 and 14 were completely correct. Your score is 96 points.

I was surprised you got #4! You probably have seen #15 but I don't know if you could get it. You should know #11, remember some of the couples aren't the hero/heroine of the story.
No bonus points for guessing the couple in the photo but you're right! :)
