The rules

4 steps.

  1. A prompt appears. Everyone writes an answer — short is funnier.
  2. The answers go up anonymously, shuffled.
  3. Vote for your favourite. You cannot vote for your own.
  4. Points are votes. The reveal shows who wrote what.

The bit everyone gets wrong

Best with a phone each — open a table on Tonight. On one phone it works, but you will be passing it around a lot.

What the phone does

The phone keeps the answers apart until the vote is over. It never sees who wrote what as anything but data, and it does not judge which is funny.

It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
