How to Play

“The players will do a soap opera inspired scene, where at any given time one player must be looking into the distance, one looking at another player, and the third splayed, without any player matching positions with another.”

The referee gets a suggestion for the game, and the players begin playing a soap opera inspired scene. The players must play the scene with the limitations of physical movements being one player must be looking out into the distance, one looking at another player, and the third splayed against the back wall or just in general. No two players may be in the same position at any given time, and the players must justify their movements between the positions.

May be played with a fourth player, adding the position of biting their knuckle.

Host Tips

The audience is instructed to say “Oooohh” if two players are in the same position.
