It’s the classic game you know and love—but with a twist that turns up the tension! In Rock Paper Scissors, the whole room plays at once, but this time the screen is in charge. Each round, a video rapidly cycles through rock, paper, and scissors while students lock in their move by holding it out in front of them. Then the reveal video plays… and the screen throws down its choice. If your move loses to what’s on the screen, you’re out! It’s fast, it’s intense, and the last one standing takes the win.

How to Play:

Have all students stand up and get ready. Play the first video, which quickly cycles through rock, paper, and scissors to build suspense. When it ends, students choose and lock in their move by holding it out clearly. Then play the reveal video to show what the screen picks. Anyone whose move is beaten by the screen’s choice is out and sits down. Repeat with the remaining players until only one student is left—they’re the champion!

Get ready to say “No way!” over and over again. No Way! – TV Edition will have your whole group second-guessing reality as you try to decide if these ridiculous-sounding TV shows are actually real or totally made up. From wild reality shows to bizarre scripted plots, some of these were somehow greenlit… and some are complete fakes. Can you spot the real ones, or will you fall for the fakes?

How to Play:

Display the title and description of a TV show on the screen. Some are real shows that actually aired, and some are completely made up. Students decide whether they think it’s real or fake and move to one of two sides of the room—Left for Real, Right for Fake. Once everyone has picked a side, reveal the answer. Anyone who guessed incorrectly is out. Keep playing until only one contestant remains!

Grab your passports and fire up your GPS—it's time for Map Quest! Each round, two different road trips pop up on the screen, and teams have to decide which one is the shorter drive. It’s a fast-paced guessing game that mixes road-trip trivia with wild travel match-ups. Perfect for high-energy crowd participation and a little friendly competition!

How to Play

Split your group into two teams. Each round, show two different trips on the screen. Teams must guess which drive is shorter by pointing left or right (or by having team captains lock in their team’s answers). Once both teams have guessed, reveal which trip was actually shorter. Award one point to the team that guessed correctly. Keep score and play as many rounds as you like—the team with the most correct guesses wins!

Get ready to enter the ultimate debate stage with Hypotheticals – Movie Characters! Each round pits two iconic movie characters against each other in a ridiculous, over-the-top scenario—like “Who would win a bake-off: Darth Vader or Shrek?” or “Who’d survive longer in a zombie apocalypse: Elsa or Indiana Jones?” The crowd doesn’t get to sit this one out! One person is brought up to argue for each character, then the entire room casts their vote by physically moving to the left or right side of the room to show where they stand. It’s funny, it’s fiery, and it’ll have your group passionately defending their favorites in the most absurd situations.

How to Play:

Bring one student from each team on stage to represent each of the two characters shown on screen. Read the hypothetical scenario out loud, then give each student 20–30 seconds to argue why their character would win. Once both sides have argued, the rest of the group votes with their feet—everyone moves to the side of the room that matches the character they think would win. Keep score for each round or just play for fun and laughs!

Hut, hut... guess! Total Survival – NFL Edition is the ultimate football trivia faceoff where your only play is your gut. From jaw-dropping touchdown records to mind-blowing stat lines, you'll see one number at a time and then try to survive by guessing whether the next NFL-themed answer is higher or lower. Guess wrong and you're out. Guess right and you live to play another down. It's fast, competitive, and full of football surprises!

 How to Play:

Display an NFL-themed question on the screen with a number as the answer. For the next round, show a new question—but only the question, not the answer. Students must guess if the answer to the new question is higher or lower than the previous number.

Students who think it’s higher move to the left side of the room; those who think it’s lower move to the right.

Once everyone picks a side, reveal the correct number. Anyone who guessed wrong is out. Keep playing until one student is left standing—or see who can survive the longest in this gridiron guessing game!
