How to play

  1. Record alone or with one other person, somewhere quiet, camera steady.
  2. Let the prompt above your head sit for a few seconds before you answer.
  3. Rate the question 1 to 10 for how hard it was to answer honestly.
  4. Post one question per clip rather than a run. These do not work rapid fire.
