How to Play
This game requires different physical objects (“props”).
A physical object is passed from player to player. As each player takes the object they use it in a way that is different from their intended use.
For example:
A water bottle can be picked up, brought up to the eye while the player says with a pirate accent, “I spy the island with the treasure.” This turns the water bottle into a telescope.
A different player can pick up the water bottle, hold it in front of them and make the sound of a light saber while they say, “May the force be with you.”
Alternative ways to play Props
- The object can be placed on a table in front of a row of players. The players step forward, pick up the prop and use it as something other than what it is. This is similar to the 185 Blanks Walk Into A Bar game.
- A competition between two teams. They pass the prop back and forth until one team can’t come up with anything.
- A single scene where a single prop is used in many different ways.
Notes
You can ask the audience for something they have with them. For example: A water bottle or hat or anything.
Some suggest that the simpler the object the better (a sheet of paper for example).
