Make it: Guess You!

51ce7xt3g5l_aa280_Guess Who? has always been one of my family's favorite board games. But now A Genius has come up with a way to make it rock even more—by replacing all the, lets face it, kind of weird pictures, with ones of your friends and family. This guy, not even a parent, has provided us with complete step-by-step instructions. Now, for me, trying to make this even with his templates would take a year off my life. But I know for some of you it would be a snap. And what an amazing gift it would be for your kids.

Guess_who_cards

You can see from the above picture how the cards have been transformed. Think about how great this would be! Pictures of Your pets! Your neighbors! Your relatives! Babysitter! Your Kid's Best Friends! As I'm writing this, I'm thinking that if you're a little bit of a non-techie gal or guy you could easily post on craig's list and get a high schooler or college kid to do this for you. And that's how great an idea I think it is. Because I do understand that outsourcing a D.I.Y. project is such a violation of the spirit of instructables and the whole world of Making Things that I am holding myself out for public ridicule and humiliation for even making such a suggestion. So, before I do, does anyone have an idea for how do this more easily? Can we hack the hack?

Hello,

As the "genius" (I'm flattered) who posted this Instructable and as a certifiably broke Instructables intern, I can say that if given the right incentive I would be willing to work out some sort of arrangement with any interested party to make this for them. Although, I would be much more excited to see someone "hack the hack" by making an even easier version and posting it to Instructables.

Regards,
Randy
(on behalf of the Instructables team)

I'd like to find a way to do this where I don't have to buy the Guess Who game already.
