Serves: 4
Cook Time: 5—10 min
Ingredients
- 4 Players Props or items in room
- Ask For’s: o “Give me a family run business” o “Why are the customers come to this business?”
Instructions
- 2 Players are given a family business and a profession and a sinister or bizarre secret timed to the job.
- 2 Players are given a relationship between each other or alternative profession, and a strange quirk about them.
- The first 2 players are given 1 minute to construct a scene based on their context.
- After 1 minute the remaining 2 players enter the scene and must interact with the previous 2 players’ scene for one additional minute.
- At the end of the two minutes the entire scene is done again, but each group of player’ time is cut to 30 seconds each, (1 min. total)
- This is then repeated again to 15 seconds each (30 min. total)
- Continue to only 5 sections per group (10 sec. total)
- Finally the entire scene is performed one more time in the span of 1 second.
Notes
This game begins with 4 players, paired up into two groups. The information for scene is acquired through an ‘ask for’. The game starts with 1 minute of the first pair creating a scene based on their environment. After 1 minute the second pair enters and must interact with their ‘strange event’, while exhibiting their strange quirk, this too is given 1 minute. After 2 minutes the players must perform the entire scene again, recreating as much of the same dialogue and physical interactions that too place in the previous scene, in half the time. This is done again in the half then time, then in a total of 10 seconds, and finally all in 1 second.
