Warning: this list contains slime, shared bathwater, a festival toilet on the final morning and one ham with a rainbow shine. It starts gentle, with burps, boogers and smelly socks the whole family can handle, then gets steadily worse. Younger players should stop after the first section. Teens can push on to the second. The really gross and gross food sections are for strong stomachs only. Every question is built to split the room down the middle, so expect arguments, gagging and at least one person leaving the table.
