I never did crack the Aussie soap/Stephen King one. I expect to be kicking myself when that's revealed
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - Leg End Reject - 20-10-2021
I'm not sure I can live with the shame!

Ditto. Except for the bit about it popping in to my head. I did come up with a soap that sort of referenced a King, but I highly doubt it's the answer AJ was looking for.

Before we get started in a few hours time, I am interested in some opinions:
In Round 1, if someone were to omit a word from the answer, or add one in, how strict do you want me to be?
Rounds 2-5 I will definitely make some enemies with the decisions I've made
but Round 1, I'm willing to be flexible if you want me to

Depends on how important the word is
Missing or adding "the", "and" etc I think is fine.
"Tools and Horses" wouldn't be, I'd say
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - Wichita Lineman - 20-10-2021
Ooh great. I thought this was on last night when I was watching Liverpool beat Athletico Madrid in the footie.

Same as EN. Depends how important the word is. Whatever your best judgement is, go for it though. We're always grateful to anyone running a game and don't want to be dicks to them about their decisions.

Tonight's episode of House of Games had me in stitches. Best episode yet. Needed that laugh too.

Looking forward to this cheering me up later, I definitely had some hilariously terrible answers!
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - aaronjennings - 20-10-2021
ROUND 1 - MOUSE OF GAMES
Q1:
So, we have lots to talk about with this question
The answer I was looking for was The Bin Bang Theory - changing the ‘G’ in ‘Big’ to ‘N’
Some of the other answers I received were Mythdusters and Bag Bang Theory. Even though they weren’t the answers I had in mind, I couldn’t really call them ‘wrong’ based on the question I provided, so I decided to allow them
Elsewhere: I said I would be strict on spellings, however based on pre-game opinions, and based on the fact I’ve been super-strict on spellings in Round 3, I am going to be lenient for this round. Which means I am also allowing Bin Bang (which removed ‘Theory’), The Big Bag Theory (which removed a letter rather than changing one) and The Great Bin Bang Theory (which added ‘Great’)
Here is the full list of answers submitted for this question (green meaning one point earned):

RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - Mam of 4 - 20-10-2021
The Big Fang Theory is a good change!
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - aaronjennings - 20-10-2021
Q2:
There were some excellent incorrect answers to this question, including “The Weakest Sink” and “Ireland’s Fattest Family” - incidentally, the title of my upcoming autobiography
.However, the answer I was looking for was Winning Stream - changing the ‘K’ in ‘Streak’ to ‘M’

Aaahhhh hahaha The P Factor, oh Necro
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - aaronjennings - 20-10-2021
Q3:
Some of the answers I received throughout the game were genuine attempts at getting the answer right. Some, not-so-much, and which I enjoyed even more than the correct ones, such “Kingaroo”. “Hope and Away”, at the other end of the scale, was a much better attempt.
The somewhat cryptic answer I wanted, however, was Dome and Away - changing the ‘H’ in ‘Home’ to ‘D’, invoking Mr King’s ‘Under the Dome’

@jp liz v1 genius!
I think this was my only good round lol
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - ari101 - 20-10-2021
Not sure I ever heard of Under the Dome (cannot stand King/Horror), I was just trying to come up with one letter changes to Home and Away that made a real word (ABCD... Not that far into the alphabet, and Dome sounded ominous - can't believe that paid off)

Yep, that checks out
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - quickbeam - 20-10-2021
OMG - I really didn't expect Dome & Away to be right. Wow!

My answer is so bad
It's the lies that hurt the most!
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - Leg End Reject - 20-10-2021
My hope and away was a random answer because it was the only Australian I could think of where a change of letter was possible!
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - nothing - 20-10-2021
I'd quite like to watch Dome and Away
RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - aaronjennings - 20-10-2021
Q4:
This one made me laugh when I thought of it - did anyone spot the little ‘Mercy’ clue in the question?
The answer was not “Tom Bones” which was an excellent attempt, but Duffy The Vampire Slayer - changing the ‘B’ in ‘Buffy’ to ‘D’

I remember thinking I might know 3 of them (not incl. Dome) and then it was all downhill after that (and not the good kind of downhill
)

Residents of Summer Bay trapped under a Dome with no exit. Just where they belong.
That was a great book, but an awful TV series, btw.

RE: THE REVEAL - Aaron Jenning's House Of Games - nothing - 20-10-2021
Zom Jones and Tom Bones are definitely mates

SCORES AFTER ROUND 1:
Nine people are on perfect scores after four questions, can one of them go all the way?

If that was a reference to a Duffy song then it totally went over my head. I was lucky to have heard of her, never mind know any of her songs.

It's a good book, quite long, and probably more weird sci-fi/horror. TV series weaker.
