How to play
A really simple game with many complexities.
Select two participants to stand up in front of the group. These two people must ask each other questions, but they are only to answer with another question. If either person answers with a statement, they lose. The participants are also not permitted to ask one word questions, for example 'really?', and need to remember that a statement with an inflection at the end is still not a question. The group should be able to work out what is and what isn't an acceptable question.
To start the game, select an audience member to provide the first question. Some starting questions may include:
• Is that your hamburger?
• Can you fly a blimp?
• How long have you been standing here for?
• Why is there a tiger on the porch?
• Where is my taco?
• What is an eel doing in the fridge?
