A 1-hour event where you complain about how little fun you’re having at a multi-day festival. I ran this around noon of day 3 of a 4 day festival. [5m of mingling / trickling in – make it clear that the circle will start at X:05] [Get everyone in a circle] You probably have some sort of mental sensation or physical sensation that is different when you say something that’s very true, as opposed to not quite right or outright false.
Credit to my friend Jenn, who wrote about half the cards. After I published the event idea on my website but before I actually ran it for the first time some years later, she ran it for her meetup in Waterloo and answered a bunch of my questions about it when I was gathering up the courage to run it for a conference.
I collect nosy questions for “nosy, inappropriate questions” social games. This is a full list (as of March 2025). If you want them in filtered web app form, you should go to scyy.fi/q. If you like this, see also: Askhole.
As someone who doesn’t have fun easily with other people, I’ve had to be creative and figure out events that do anything to my deadened social circuits. I like events that are weird, or mentally challenging, or nominally do something useful.
