The rules
4 steps.
- The performer takes the phone and reads the scene — only they see it.
- Act it out silently: no words, no mouthing, no pointing at objects.
- The room shouts guesses. Tap got it as soon as somebody has it.
- Pass the phone on when the clock runs out.
What the phone does
The phone deals scenes, runs the clock and keeps score. It cannot see the performance, so the room decides what counts.
It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
