What it feels like
Warm socks from the radiator. The first sip of tea. A song you'd forgotten, coming on the radio. Tonight isn't about big things. It's about the small ones... and guessing who in this room loves them most.
How to play
- Take a private turn each and answer two prompts. Nobody else looks.
- The answers come up one at a time, with no name on them. Say out loud who wrote it.
- Reveal, and see who read the room.
Scoring: 2 points for each right guess. If fewer than half of you guess yours, you score 3 for staying a mystery.
You'll get prompts like
- “The smallest thing that made you happy this week”
- “A sound you love”
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.
