Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Prepare simple missions or quietly assign them verbally.
- Give each player one mission such as get someone to say a chosen word or start a group toast.
- Players attempt missions during normal conversation.
- When someone thinks they spotted a mission, they may make one guess.
- Reveal completed missions at the end.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use team missions or shorter ten-minute rounds.
Make it a great round
Missions should never involve deception about serious matters, unwanted contact, embarrassment or personal boundaries.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
