Protocol for Bookworms

All players pick a book and a kill word from the front of their book, players sing the first word on the book's first page. after all players finished singing this first word, they all turn to the next page and repeat the protocol.

The protocol is finished when one of the players reaches the end of their book, or when one of the players sings one of the kill words. In both events the relevant player signals the end.

Protocol for Nearsightedness

Players sit around a table. They close their eyes, take off their glasses and slide them to a random player. Each one wears the glasses they find in front of them when they open their eyes again. Players without glasses put on 'finger glasses'. When one player gathers all glasses the game ends.

Protocol for Interviews

Pick a random text in your field of view. Choose one random word and form a question for the interviewee using that word.

Protocol for Interruption

The players conduct an interview. Before the interview starts, the hosts pick a word. Whenever the interviewee says said word the hosts ask a new question.

Protocols for Sound Looping

1) First player starts with a sound of choice, or multiple sounds in case this is prefered. Sound in this case can be understood in the broadest sense of the word: it can both be made with the hands, feet, but also objects or digital files. 2) After performing the sound, the batton is passed onto the next player in the circle, following the circle clock-wise. The next player immitates and repeats the sound that was previously performed, and adds another sound (or sounds) to it. 3) The next player continuous following the same instructions, and so on. All sounds that are made are therefore repeated and added onto while the batton gets passed on. 4) In case there's a desire to stop, the person that has this desire starts humming as a signal to reset. All players of the group join in with the humming for 2-3 seconds. From there the player on the left of the person who started the humming restarts the protocol again.

  • There's no such thing as failure, only restarting if desired.

Protocols for Typing

1) One of the players makes an Etherpad where the documentation can be followed visually. 2) All players pick a random word and type at the same time. Repeat the same word as much as possible. Players have eye contact in case they want the instruction to stop, and continue to the next. 3) For the next round, all players pick a random word again, and type one by one, clock-wise. Follow previous instructions: repeat the same word as much as possible. Players have eye contact in case they want the instruction to stop, and continue to the next. 4) For the next round, all players pick a random word again, and type 2-by-2 (2 people at the same time). Pick a new word every time you finish typing the previous word, keep typing. Players have eye contact in case they want the instruction to stop, and continue to the next. 5) For the next, all players pick a random word again, and type 2-by-2 (the other 2 people at the same time). Follow previous instructions: pick a new word every time you finish typing the previous word, keep typing. Players have eye contact in case they want the instruction to stop, and continue to the next. 6) For the last round, one word gets picked collectively and gets typed at the same time. Follow previous instructions: repeat the same word as much as possible. Players have eye contact in case they want the instruction to stop. This is the last round.
