Party game enciphers wishes in a funny way (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
chinese whispers
'party game' is the definition.
'chinese whispers' can be an answer for 'game' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'party' bit.
'enciphers wishes in a funny way' is the wordplay.
'in a funny way' indicates an anagram (a funny or unusual order for the letters).
'enciphers'+'wishes'='encipherswishes'
'encipherswishes' with letters rearranged gives 'CHINESE WHISPERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chinese whispers that I've seen before include "Game that distorts a message as it is passed around" , "rumours in Beijing" , "message being garbled" , "Game in which messages mutate" , "Oriental game?" .)
