The game "Mrs. Casey Wants to Know" is both a question and answer game, with cards for each activity. However, the play involves trying to make the answering player smile or laugh, and thus forfeit his turn. If he succeeds in keeping a straight face, he keeps all answer cards he has used in the game. The winner has the most answer cards when the supply runs out. The game resembles nonsense reading games from the same era such as Peter Coddles, with a new twist.
