    Notes

    During this game the audience is asked to provide 4 words or phrases which are divided among two of the players. These players can only speak using the phrases prescribed to them. The audience is then asked for the scene from an action movie or a situation in which something exciting is happening. The player without any restrictions is then left to drive the scene and react to whatever is being said. This game typically works best when players vary their tone and inflection with their phrases, and find ways for their phrases to interact with each other as well as the player with no restrictions.
