How to play

  1. Set the phone where the whole group fits in frame and start recording.
  2. Each person takes the prompt that appears above their head and answers in one sentence.
  3. The group rates the answer 1 to 10, then the phone passes on.
  4. Keep the round to one question each so the energy stays up.
