Beamish Museum releases new Guess Who? board game

August 3rd 2024

Guess Who? Beamish Edition

Classic board game Guess Who? has been given a Beamish Museum twist as the County Durham museum launches it’s own version.

Beamish’s Guess Who? features iconic museum characters including the squire of Pockerley, the 1950s housewife, miner, tram driver, dentist and Suffragette.

Is your character wearing a hat? Are they wearing glasses? Do they work in The 1900s Town? Ask clever questions to guess your opponent’s Mystery Character before they guess yours!

The museum’s edition of Guess Who? follows Beamish Museum’s popular versions of Cluedo, Monopoly and Top Trumps.

Rachael Marsden, Commercial Manager at Beamish Museum, said: “It’s exciting to announce the arrival of our new board game Guess Who?, this will sit alongside our range of Beamish bespoke board games.

“Guess Who? was chosen as it is a fun, enjoyable family game played by all ages. It’s easy to play and can be played anywhere, making it a great gift.”

Rachael added: “The characters in the game have been inspired by costumed staff and illustrated with Winning Moves UK.”

Beamish Museum Guess Who? is available to purchase now from the 1950s toy shop, Museum shop at the Entrance as well as the museum’s online shop.
