Hello, and thanks Hyacinth for a fun template. I nudged the name over to just 'Party games' because some of the spin the bottle type games wouldn't fit well in a classroom (although...depending on which classroom?). Seem okay? What is the name of that game where you have a persons name on your back and have to guess who it is by asking other people questions? Thanks, nice work.

User:Robsinden, the template {{Navbox}}, used as this template's framework, features "image" as a variable, implying that it was made, in part, so that navboxes could easily include images.

Because something is technically possible is not a reason for inclusion. Navboxes are not arbitrarily decorative, which is the only purpose this picture serves. It does not have strong ties with the topic and does not help identify it, neither does it aid navigation. All it is is a pretty picture. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:02, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-07-01T15:02:00.000Z","author":"Robsinden","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Robsinden-2015-07-01T15:02:00.000Z-Hyacinth-2015-07-01T14:59:00.000Z","replies":["c-Hyacinth-2015-07-03T06:06:00.000Z-Robsinden-2015-07-01T15:02:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Rob Sinden"}}-->

Am I right to assume you would point to Wikipedia:Navigation templates#Navigation templates are not arbitrarily decorative as a reason why navboxes are not arbitrarily decorative?

That and the fact that it's just navbox bloat. How does a picture aid navigation? --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:18, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-07-03T08:18:00.000Z","author":"Robsinden","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Robsinden-2015-07-03T08:18:00.000Z-Hyacinth-2015-07-03T06:06:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Rob Sinden"}}-->
