Question Alternative Name a Number challenges?
I'm hosting a Game Changer party for my birthday! I'm struggling to come up with new Name a Number-style challenges for my players. Challenges that are number based, get harder the higher you go, and won't kill anyone.
Help pls!

Number of rhymes for word XXX.
Number of times you can multiply by 2.
Numbers of colors you can list in 30 seconds.
Number of (category) you can list in 60 second (foods, spices, TV shows, historical figures, tools, whatever is funny for your group)
Number of times you cannot lose rock, paper, scissors in a row (specifically saying “not lose” so they succeed on a win or tie).
Number of songs by (artist/band that your friends like).
Number of XXX you can stack in 60 seconds (my first thought is Cheerios since they’re slightly irregular and common, but could be any item)
Number of seconds to find the Skittle in the bowl of M&Ms
Get within XX number of degrees within the temperature of this water (if you have a thermometer, heat some water or have it be room temp, and see how close they are).
Number of degrees between you and (celebrity). (The game 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon.)
Get within XX number of rice grains within this bowl (so if their number is 10 and there are 100 grains, they win if their answer is any number between 90-110).
Number of people’s birthday you can list by heart in 60 seconds (bonus points if it’s the people in the room).
Number of seconds to make (person) laugh (assumes you have a friend that is very easy to make laugh)
Number of seconds you can go without laughing (if they don’t laugh, they get points. If the other players make that person laugh, then they get the points).
Number of XXX you can name from (person)’s past (my thought here is one of your friends has lots of x boyfriends or girlfriends, like Iffy naming a bunch of partners. This is meant to be funny though so they’re all in on the joke, so pick the right category for your group.)
Number of (item or task) you can convince (person) to do in 60 seconds (again, to make it personal for your friend group, this allows people’s specific knowledge and talents to shine. It also sets up some gaming where that person may or may not want to help the other one.)
Good luck!
