Was thinking the same…
…here’s a bit of an easy one but only one that jumps to mind at the moment…
:
Game Alert: Name that band using only Emoji's
Considering Neil is a British guy, I’ll risk Steps, but I’m not betting on neing right…

Alas, no. Honestly, I don’t know the band, but reading it’s a Spanish Folk Metal group got me curious… 
Two years ago I traveled to Argentina, and it was the first time I heard their music in a night bar

This is fun!
I would suggest @AnkerOfficial to create a contest - it can be for PowerBucks - where we guess something using emojis. We “discarded” a lot of fairly good band names here, but there’s still so much to explore:
- Books
- Song names
- Movie titles
- Movie plot
- Videogames
To avoid the “first right guess” that discourages those who come late, a simple times and points system can be arranged, with the contest going for a couple of days with guessing clues coming throughout the day - thus favouring the cosmopolitan audience of the community - and points being given for the first five right guesses of any item, with a points sum at the end to choose the winners. Add to that some really obscure and hard-to-guess emoji combinations, and we easily have a week-long, if not longer, fun game where everyone truly has a chance of winning!

The trouble with that is, if it’s based on likes, there’ll be the usual few who’ll clear up, even if not necessarily the best!
Plus, if it’s first to answer, time zones play a part in members missing out.

That’s why I suggested the points and times system. It would go something like this:
- The clues would be given at different times throughout the day - say, 5 different time zones, to accommodate people from around the world
- The first X correct answers are awarded points on each item - i.e.: the first five get five points, the next five get four, the next five get three, and so forth. In this example, we would have 25 people scoring points in each item.
- The winners would be those with the most points accumulated throughout the contest. So if one person got the first right pick on one particular item but never player again, this person probably wouldn’t win. To win, you would have to accumulate points and get high on a scoreboard. The winners would come back regularly, according to their own availability, to score points.
- A week-long competition with 5 items spaced throughout the day and the five-by-five answers and points system suggested would give anyone 125 opportunities to score at any day, 875 in a week. First-guessers get more points in a particular item, but I doubt anyone would stay awake or come back during work hours just to score points. A better math could get us to a items-per-day allowing someone to actually win by consistently scoring one or two points, against someone who got a couple of five-pointers.
So, no first to answer, no likes involved, multiple time zones so more people get a chance. A long game with a scoreboard. It’s not perfect - given that it’s the product of no more than a 5 minutes one-person brainstorm - but it’s something, right?

good luck 
I like the idea of expanding it to other things like movie titles.
Is there a way to make one thread called “Emoji Game” and then have sub topics under it for each category?
Easiest way would be to create a new thread like ‘Game Alert: Name That Movie Using Emojis’…just as long as things don’t starting getting crazy such as name the object, whats my pet’s name etc etc as a points generating exercise for any and everyone
