How to play with holidays

Ask one question and give everyone a short turn. Listen without interrupting, and let anyone pass. For a holidays round, let everyone choose a comfortable prompt. You can play with people in the room or share the screen remotely.

Let's play

A quick round

Pick ten prompts and keep each answer to one sentence. Stop when the group wants to talk more.

A story round

Use fewer prompts and invite an optional follow-up. Let the person answering decide how much to share.

A paper round

Print a small set, cut out the cards, and let willing players draw a prompt. Keep a skip pile on the table.

Make it your game.

Simple rules, plenty of room for your group.
