In this game players can only speak in questions. The players get into two lines, and step forward for scenes in pairs. If they stumble or make a statement another player comes in and takes over.
Examples
Location: Airport
Player A: Have you got your boarding pass?
Player B: Why should I give it to you?
Player A: Don’t you want to get on this plane?
Player B: Where is it going?
Player A: Barbados!
Player A goes to the back of the line.
Player B: How many suitcases am I allowed?
Player C: Aren’t you the pilot?
Player B: Oh yeah…
Player B leaves
