The competition was getting pretty hot by now and there were some considerable slight of hand going on. I had to warn one group that photographing other groups' clues without their permission was against the spirit of the rules!

So, we were down to the last round and the last set of clues. This round we asked the groups to make sense of 10 photos of Nathanael that had been cut up like an identi-kit photos; these are displayed in the slideshow below.

The rules of this round were easy: each team had to compile as many complete and correct photos and glue them onto their table cloths and shout out, where upon I'd go and mark it. If it was correct and true, they'd get an extra clue; if not they'd have to hope the glue wasn't too quick setting!

There was a time limit, and I hoped that the frantic rushing to get the images together, hearing the other groups shouting another completed image, would help tie the whole group together instead of being disparate tables. It was a party after all. When we first thought of this game, my initial thought was that the groups had to complete them one at a time with the aim of getting 5 finished; but when I tested it on Sandi: she took 20 minutes just to do one! So that was never going to work, which is why we decided that the free for all would be more versatile (we had to make sure that each group got at least a couple of clues).

It took some time before the first clue was awarded, and there were a few false starts. In the end Table 2 did very well and Table 3 did the worst; funnily enough there was quite a disparity between the ratio of boys to girls on the two tables (which I'm not sure had anything to do with that result).

Once all the clues were given out it was time for the teams to get their final version of the story together and present it to the group.

Feel free to print the images and see how long you take to put them together (don't forget that they need to be mixed up).
