How it Works

One player leaves the room. The audience provides:

  • where we are, and when (what era)

  • who the player will be (can be a person, or just his occupation)

  • a physical handicap for the player (perhaps he's blind ?)

  • a problem the player has

Then a scene is played, in which the other players need to coach player 1 into guessing each of the items above, without giving any explicit clues. Example: scene is played on the Red Square in Moscow, in 2050, where a limping salesman of vacuum cleaners never sells any vacuum cleaners, since his prices are quoted in rubels instead of Euros (Russia is obviously part of the Eurodollar zone in 2050).
