Wonderful way of getting to know a little bit more about members of the group in a competitive way. This really can be used at any time and not just as an ice breaker as individuals get to reveal more of themselves that might not naturally come up in a conversation.
Depending on the length of the program or size of the groups, this could be played a few times with different clues than the last time.
