How to play

  1. Sit one person in front of the camera and start recording before the first prompt.
  2. Prompts appear above their head back to back with no gaps for thinking.
  3. Every answer gets rated 1 to 10 out loud by whoever is holding the phone.
  4. Swap the chair after a minute and post both rounds together.

Filming tips

  • Shoot the hot seat straight on and close, so the prompt and the face share the frame with nothing else.
  • Count the answers down out loud. A visible clock or countdown makes the pressure read on camera.
  • Do not let the person in the chair see the list beforehand. A prepared answer is a dead clip.
