What it feels like
Fairy lights in the rafters. Champagne on every table. A barn full of people, waiting for the best man's legendary speech: five little cards, safe in his jacket pocket. Safe, that is, until the music starts. By the time the toasts begin, those cards will be gone... and someone on that dance floor knows exactly where.
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 cards, and where they are now.
- Then the solution is read out, with every clue and where it was hiding.
Scoring: 3 points for naming who took them, 2 for saying where the cards are now.
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.
