[Grandma57]

1. The guests would wear these to a masquerade party (8)
2. Eastern dignitaries may stay here with Dave or Nick (7,8)
3. Monitories (10)
4. Can be found in the almanac (7)

1. Disguise

[swannbaker]

Chinese Checkers .

[Quizmonkey]

1 is not disguise - not a plural, nor a game.

1. Charades

[Quizmonkey]

Can you justify charade meaning something you can wear??

[sadielady]

Quizmonkey Obviously you know the answer to question 1, why not just give it instead of being sarcastic towards others who are at least trying to help

[Quizmonkey]

Sorry but I DON"T know it - would like to know the answer. And there is no trace of sarcasm in any of my posts. I just hate people on this site making random unsubstantiated guesses that waste everyone's time and help no-one. Simple.

4. mancala

3. Triominoes is an anagram of monitories and I'm sure my kids used to have a game called that.

[Mamyalynne]

1 think lots of small tiles marked with spots!!

[Grandma57]

Thank you all - just got No 1 - dominoes (domino mask).
Any ideas for No 3?

swannbaker answered it with Chinese Checkers Grandma

"Can you justify charade meaning something you can wear??"

Charade mask.

Is that a good enough example? You could have Goggled it in the first place to confirm like I did!!

[chelle7272]

That's like saying masquerade mask, it doesn't mean a charade is something you wear.
Quizmonkey was quite correct to question the incorrect answers given.

[Dodger666]

So it makes sense for a domino mask to be worn at a masquerade but not a charade mask to be worn at a masquerade. I'm confused, could you explain the difference?

Don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing a domino any more than I've seen someone wearing a charade.

[Quizmonkey]

Dodger: buy yourself a dictionary and you'll see that a domino is a mask; a charade is not. End of subject. You 'confirmed' nothing with your 'Goggling' (sic).

[sadielady]

I have come to the conclusion that nomatter what anyone else says they are going to be wrong because according to Quizmonkey he/she is always right (he/she thinks) and the rest of us are idiots

[Quizmonkey]

Er, no Barb - how can you justify that conclusion from what I have said? You answered a question asking for the plural of an object you wear: your answer was not the plural of an object you wear. It was 100% wrong. If you want to call yourself an idiot, that's your call.

I looked up domino in the dictionary - definition - a large hooded cloak with an eye mask at a masquerade. So I think that dominoes is the perfect answer.

My boys as youngsters also had Triominoes
