What it feels like
Tonight, Class Five is sleeping over at the museum, right underneath a giant T. rex. Thirty sleeping bags. One very big torch. And a real dinosaur egg, seventy million years old, safe in its glass case. Well... safe until morning. Keep your eyes open. Something in this hall glows in the dark.
How to play
- The story comes in four parts. Each is read out loud by someone different — everyone else just listens.
- Between parts, the screen gives the table something to argue about. Every clue you need is in the story.
- At the end, everyone accuses in private: who took the egg, and where it is now.
- Then the solution is read out, with every clue and where it was hiding.
Scoring: 3 points for naming who took it, 2 for finding it.
What you need
3 to 10 people and one phone, tablet or laptop to pass around — or everyone on their own phone in a room. Nothing to download, no accounts. The best lines can be sealed into your group's Almanac and come back in later games.
