ON THE SHARED STAGEEXAMPLE
Running Gags
Our imaginary sponsor makes a toaster with stage fright. What is its slogan?
THE SETUP
The host sets the scene. Your audience takes it from here.
YOUR AUDIENCE CONTROLLER
Choose a sample line to build the pitch around.
Two illustrative House lines show a single choice in a connected pitch. The real game credits selected contributors across three beats; it never awards competitive points. This example does not collect ballots or simulate the whole contribution chain.
Read the sample reveals
Your sample pick: “A standing ovation. Eventually.” Next, the writers build on that promise. The pitch belongs to the ensemble.
Your sample pick: “Breakfast, once everyone stops looking.” Next, the writers build on that promise. The pitch belongs to the ensemble.
THE GAME IN DEVELOPMENT
Here’s how the room gets into it.
Volunteer to write. Vote anonymously on each link. Your host performs the result. A cooperative show with ensemble credit and no points.
Make it yours.
Volunteer for a rotating writing turn or help choose the next line. Each winning contribution becomes the foundation for the next beat. Ballots hide author names; you cannot vote for your own entry.
A little preparation.
Explain that this is cooperative: no points or individual leaderboard. Labeled House lines keep choices available when needed. Moderating an earlier line also removes its dependent continuations, so the bit can reset safely.
YOUR PEOPLE. THIS GAME.
