The Guardian leaders' debate game

If there was one lesson to be learned from the first party leaders' debate (apart from "I agree with Nick") it was this: you can't beat a bit of name-dropping.

From the Sheffield factory visited by Nick Clegg to the carers met by Gordon Brown and the "40-year-old black man" referenced by David Cameron (he turned out to be 51 – close, but no majority) there's nothing like showing you're in touch with the common voter.

We can expect tomorrow's second leaders' debate, which is all about international affairs, to take the name-checking to a whole new level.

Wannabe world leaders have to straddle the globe. Not only must they be able to say who is in charge of occasionally obscure-sounding foreign countries, they must have met them too.

Which brings us neatly to our election debate game, which we're calling: "As I told Barack while we were shooting hoops with George Clooney ... "

In this global take on buzzword bingo, the three contenders will be awarded points depending on how many overseas countries – and leaders – they namecheck in the course of tomorrow's 90-minute debate.

We're thinking that extra points should be awarded for hard-to-pronounce states and mention of particularly powerful world leaders. Anecdotes about "real people" they have met – gasp! – overseas should be particularly well rewarded.

All sorts of other bonus points will be available. Which is where you come in. Where will our putative next prime ministers claim they have visited? With whom will they boast about having enjoyed top-level ground-breaking paradigm-shifting negotiations? And how many points should they earn for dropping the names and places?

Your thoughts and suggestions are very welcome in the run-up to the debate, which will be shown at 8pm on Sky News, BBC News, BBC Radio 4 and right here on guardian.co.uk tomorrow night, when we will be keeping track of exactly who has visited where, who has met whom, and whether they got the Wii out for a game of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare after dinner.
