Mission Statement
The purpose of Project Ektelo (Ektelo meaning "perform" in greek) is to create new and exciting Acting Improv games for future LAN sessions. Post your ideas below in rough format, then have others edit them to perfection. I hope to see your games at my next session!
Ideas for Games
Infomercial
1 or more nonsensical items are chosen. Examples may be things such as Sonic Screwdriver, or Cement Shoes. The number of people playing should be 1 more then the number of items. 3 out of the 4 are given the items as infomercial topics. They must pretend they are in an infomercial and describle their product. When it is guessed, the guesser begins to advertise his or her item (if there are more guessers after them) to the next guesser. Gameplay continues until all items are guessed.
Max says, "This game is normally also played with callers. In this sense, it is similar to Party Quirks; however, unlike in Party Quirks, the actual infomercial people should be much more vague. With cement shoes, there should be little reference to the fact that they are shoes, or that they are cement. Only uses should be presented. The callers, then, can ask questions; these should make the item a lot more obvious."
Misunderstandings
This can be done in two ways, depending on the person. If it is a very perverted person, pick a phrase that sounds like it can ONLY be used for that one purpose and have the guesser try to figure out what it means normally. If it is a very conservative person, pick something sweet and innocent and make them guess the most perverted thought they can make up for it. Basically its a game of corruption and seeing what people simply cannot get.
Max says, "This sounds too much like Balderdash."
Directly Stolen from Who's Line!
Props game if someone wants to actually get props. (Box of props, you and your partner get one or two of the same one and you have to make up funny uses for it) Speak for Yourself (Two people acting either silently or to a foreign language and their two partners out on the side have to be the actor's vocals)
<<<That's already a game called Foreign Film Dubs.
