- Game Author
: Russell Weiser
Game Category : Introductory
Number Of People : 4 (3 actors and 1 moderator)
Difficulty Rating : ~ (Introductory)
Time Estimate : 4 minutes
Items Necessary : None
Prompts Needed : Scenario (1), Written (3)
Preparation :
- The moderator should have 3 written prompts prepared ahead of time.
- The written prompts should be ways to change how the actors act out the scenario...
- One possibility is a change to the way an actor moves (crab-walking, walking backward, etc.)
- One possibility is a change to the way an actor talks (accents, yell/whisper, etc.)
- One possibility is a change to the way an actor uses items (flipping on/off lights, etc.)
- One possibility is to assign a character prompt to an actor
- The actors should not know aheat of time what the written prompts are
Procedure(s) :
- The game begins with only 2 of the actors acting out the scenario.
- At some point, the moderator buzzes (or yells out "Now") and then announces what the "show-stopping change" is for that actor.
- The actor must act out the rest of the game with that change.
- The same is done for the second actor, (30 seconds to 1 minuit later).
- After the second actor begins their change, the third actor joins in.
- The third actor knows that the other two are not acting normally and makes fun of them for it.
- Then the third actor receives their show-stopping change.
- The first two actors then make fun of the third actor's show-stopping change.
Closure :
- The game is concluded about 30 seconds to 1 minute after the third actor receives their show-stopping change.
Variations :
- Adjust the amount of time in between when the actors receive their changes, give each actor more than one change, or change the number of actors and/or moderators.
