Why some movies are better for hangman
Hangman rewards recognisable spelling over iconic scenes. Short titles with common letters (Jaws, Frozen, Avatar) give guessers a fair start; long titles with rare letters frustrate the room.
Hangman house rules for titles
Agree whether the guesser sees the number of words, whether they can buy vowels, and whether sequels count. Decide up front - inconsistent calls ruin the game.
Pair hangman with charades
After a hangman round, switch to charades with the same title list. Showem handles the charades round so you only track hangman on paper.
