===Radio and television=== Fictionary is featured as a segment on the weekly [[United States|US]] [[National Public Radio]] quiz show ''[[Says You!]]'', where it is known as the bluffing round. In the [[United Kingdom|UK]], ''[[Call My Bluff]]'' was a popular daytime [[BBC]] television [[panel game]] based on Fictionary, which ran from 1965 to 1988, and was revived in 1996. Two teams of three players (journalists, B and C list celebrities, etc.) compete. A player from one team has to decide between the three proposed definitions provided by the opposing team. If the first player correctly identifies the true definition of the word, they earn their team a point. If they are wrong, the team which provided the definitions are awarded the point. ''Call My Bluff'' was first aired in October 1965, with [[Robin Ray]] as chair. Presenter [[Robert Robinson (broadcaster)|Robert Robinson]] chaired it for many years. The series finished on 18 June 2004, with a [[Red Nose Day 2011|Comic Relief]] special in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/rednoseday/24hourpanelpeople/schedule.shtml|title=Schedule|work=Red Nose Day|publisher=[[BBC Online]]|access-date=8 March 2011}}</ref> Other television [[game show]]s based on the concept include ''[[Take My Word For It]]'' and ''[[Wordplay (game show)|Wordplay]]''. In Japan, {{nihongo|''Tahoiya''|γγ»γγ}} featured the game under the same name. The 30 minute late night game show aired on [[Fuji TV]] in 1993, and was rebroadcast on [[Fuji TV]] 739 [[Satellite television|satellite channel]] in 2008. ''Tahoiya'', originally meaning "a cabin used for boar hunting", was one of the chosen words in early game play.
