What FOOD will help your team guess San Francisco? (Sourdough Bread or Rice-A-Roni are possibilities.) How about a MOVIE? (What's Up Doc? or a Dirty Harry film might work, but you can probably think of better ones.)

How about a SONG for 'Mickey Mantle'? A HOUSEHOLD ITEM for 'The Titanic'? Or AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING for 'Marilyn Monroe'?

That's Abstracts, teams guessing famous people places, and things using loosely connected or abstract clues. It challenges the imagination in a fun and frenzied way.
