HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDOne ordinary object visible on camera
  1. 1Choose one object that every player can easily see, such as a spoon, hat, towel, or cardboard tube.
  2. 2The first player silently uses it as something else. The first correct guess earns one point, then the object passes virtually to the guesser, who uses their own substitute as a new thing.
  3. 3An interpretation cannot repeat a previous idea, and each performance has a thirty-second limit.
  4. 4Continue until the group creates ten transformations, or play individually until one player reaches three correct guesses.
