Hip-Hop Guessing Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Guess Wu?' is a Wu Tang Clan-Inspired Board Game

— August 17, 2015 — Life-Stages
Board game lovers and rap music enthusiasts rejoice, 'Guess Who?' has released an all-Wu Tang Clan edition called 'Guess Wu?' Added to the game are members of the 90s rap group, which boasts a staggering 25 members. These rappers are then added to the made-up characters from the original game.

For fans of the group, they can test each other's knowledge of members by asking clever rap lines, but traditional questions like, "Is your rapper wearing a hat?" works too. Although adding a rather mature and edgy twist to the board game, Guess Wu? can still work as a children's game.

Illustrator Dan Evans creates cartoon versions of each rapper, incorporating details from each individual's signature style. Adding the obvious physical attributes or each rapper allows the game to be easily adaptable to fans of the original game.
Trend Themes
1. Hip-hop-inspired Board Games - There is a growing trend of board games inspired by hip-hop music, offering new and creative gameplay for fans of both genres.
2. Nostalgic-themed Board Games - Board game companies are tapping into nostalgia by creating new editions of classic games that incorporate popular cultural elements, such as 'Guess Wu?' with the Wu Tang Clan.
3. Customizable Board Games - Board game creators are implementing customizable options in games to allow players to tailor the experience to their own interests, as seen with 'Guess Wu?' incorporating the original game's characters and adding the option for unique rap lines.
Industry Implications
1. Board Game Industry - The board game industry should explore partnering with pop culture icons, like hip-hop artists, to create new editions of existing games that cater to a wider audience or tapping into nostalgic themes for renewed interest.
2. Hip-hop Industry - The hip-hop industry could consider collaborating with board game creators to leverage its fanbase and create a new market for immersive, hip-hop-inspired games that offer an alternate form of entertainment to its audience.
3. Toy and Game Retail Industry - Retailers should consider expanding their selection of board games to include unique, culturally-inspired and customized games and toys like 'Guess Wu?' to increase sales and cater to a more diverse audience.
