HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Choose three ingredients for a character: one walking speed, one emotion, and one secret job. Keep the emotion and job hidden from the other players.
  2. 2Walk around the playing area as that character for thirty seconds. Show the emotion through posture and face, and show the job through repeated actions, but do not speak or spell clues.
  3. 3When time ends, each observer gets one guess at the emotion and one guess at the job. Reveal both ingredients after everyone guesses.
  4. 4Give one point for each correct ingredient, rotate performers, and finish after everyone has performed once. Solo players introduce the character aloud after the walk instead of scoring guesses.
