This thread is not exactly games you can play on sleuth, but at home, in the car, etc.

Game #1: For those Non-Patient People
Materials for this game: at least two people
Goal: To say each category
How to Play: One person is the "silent singer". A different person, (doesn't matter who), says "Go!". After go, the "silent singer" sings the ABC's in their head. The player who had yelled "go" now yells "stop" after, well, when they want the silent singer to stop singing the ABC's. (Silent Singer people: If you are done singing the alphabet and the other player hasn't yelled "stop" yet, just start over and keep going. Other player people: Don't take forever to say "stop" ;)
Once the other player has said "stop", the silent singer says what letter they had been on out loud. Each player, including silent singers, each name a BOYS NAME, a GIRLS NAME, and a FOOD. You can also change categories and add new ones if you'd like. If you are stuck and cannot think of name or food, either get help from other players or pass. Fun game to play when you're stuck somewhere and are bored.

Game #2: Vampire
Goal: To be a human
Materials needed: A small group of people, maybe about 5 or more.
How to Play: Everybody closes their eyes. A random person who really wants to be a human (or a grownup supervisor) taps one person on the head. The person tapped is the vampire. Everybody scatters around the room and shakes each others hands. If you are a human, you say hello to the person you greet. If you are a vampire, you say nothing.
Here's how you change: If two vampires greet each other, they each turn to humans. If two humans greet each other, then they stay the same as a human being. If a vampire and a human greet each other, then the human turns into a vampire and and the original vampire stays the same as a vampire. Whoever is a human at the end of the game, wins. CONT.

Alright... I want to add one
Game: Car Cricket
Materials Needed: At least two people, and you need to be in a car (preferably driving along a high way)
Goal: To score the most points.
How to Play:
So you're driving along in your car having a merry old time when your brother starts kicking the back of your chair, so you quickly invent a game that somehow manages to last for two hours all the way to your grandparents house. You're driving along a highway and eveytime a car drives past your window (in the other direction) you get points but different cars have different points...
normal cars : 1 point
motorbikes: 2 points
trucks: 5 points
anything else: 10 points
if a red car comes past though... you're out.
then the next person has a go until you get sick of it... then the person with the most points wins!
it doesn't really have anything to do with cricket but I was making it up on the spot so don't tease me:-P

Great game! I have another one to share. (of coarse, inspired by red_lips's game)
Game #4: Doesn't have a name, so we'll call it "All 50 States"
Goal: To see all 50 states license plates
Materials needed: A list of all 50 states, a long road trip/car ride, and a pen.
How to Play: One person, preferably a grownup, holds a list of the 50 states and a pen. (you can save space and time by writing the PO abbreviations on the list) When on a long drive to someplace, each person in the car tries to spot a license plate that has that state on it.
Example.: A child sees a license plate that's from Maine. The grownup with the list, we can call them th list keeper, crosses off that state/PO abbreviation on the list. Once each state is crossed off, the game is over. EVERYBODY WINS!!!!!! You can also cross off the state that your license plate is, too. :-)
