Whether you’ve already cycled through your favorite books, movies, and TV shows—or you’re simply looking for a fun way to connect with the loved ones you’re cooped up in quarantine with—there’s no better way to pass the time than by playing board games. One Etsy seller has revamped Guess Who?, offering the beloved board game themed to your favorite TV shows, including “Friends,” “The Office,” “Game of Thrones,” and so many more.

Etsy shop Boredbutcozy is selling handmade versions of the classic, family-friendly game that are perfectly themed to the most popular shows on TV. In case you haven’t played Guess Who? since your days of sleepovers and prank calls, the game features two boards filled with pictures of 24 people on each side—in this case, the characters from the show of your choice. You then choose a card from a separate pile and attempt to have your opponent guess which character you’ve got based on “yes or no” questions to reveal their identity.

Designed for serious fans, you’ll need to know your show trivia, because it’s not just the core characters you’ll need to guess. “Friends” fans will definitely know the main crew —Joey, Monica, Rachel, Chandler, Phoebe, and Ross—but only mega-fans will be able to answer questions about recurring characters like Richard Burke, Jack Geller, and, of course, fan favorites Gunther and Janice. As Chandler himself might ask: Could there be a better way to combat quarantine boredom?

For $65, you can get a full unofficial Guess Who? game themed to the show of your choice. But if you’ve already got the game at home, you can simply snag the printable PDF download files ($9) of the cards that you can attach to DIY your own version.
And there are endless options to choose from: “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Friends,” “Harry Potter,” “Game of Thrones,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Riverdale,” “Schitt’s Creek,” “Seinfeld,” “The Simpsons,” “Gilmore Girls,” “New Girl,” “One Tree Hill,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “How I Met Your Mother,” and so many more. TV fanatics, it’s truly your time to shine.
