HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDPaper slips, a pen, and a 30-second timer
  1. 1Write one creature on each slip: dog, monkey, cow, bird, alien, AI bot—or add your own. Make at least twice as many slips as players, fold them, and mix them.
  2. 2Everyone secretly draws one slip. Keep your creature hidden. Put unused slips aside without opening them.
  3. 3Start a 30-second timer. Everyone acts at once, greeting other players as their creature. Use movement and creature sounds, but don’t say its name. With two players, greet each other.
  4. 4When time is up, stop acting. Go around the group: everyone else guesses that person’s creature, then the actor reveals the slip. With two players, both guess before either reveals.
  5. 5Play three rounds with fresh draws. For optional scoring, each correct guess earns one point; most points after round three wins. Ties share the win.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

The reunionPlay the same creatures again, but this time greet everyone as if you haven’t seen them for twenty years. At the end, each player picks the greeting they found funniest; there is no elimination.
Memory roundAfter acting stops, write one guess beside each player’s name before anyone reveals. Reveal in turn; one point per correct match. Most points wins, with shared wins for ties.
