🚨 THE CRISIS
🎉 The Outcome
Goal: Take on a ridiculous secret role, pitch an in-character solution to the AI’s bizarre problem, and vote on the funniest idea.
How to Play
- AI Assigns Secret Roles
Each player gets a private role to embody for the round.
Roles range from sensible to completely absurd:
- Pirate
- Royal advisor
- Angry raccoon
- Sleep-deprived wizard
- Time-traveling dentist
- Robot CEO
Roles should spark fun, not seriousness.
- Pirate
- AI Presents the Problem
The AI sends the council a new crisis:
- “The moon fell down.”
- “The castle’s plumbing has become sentient.”
- “Someone replaced the king with a balloon version.”
- “The national fruit turned into cheese.”
- “The moon fell down.”
- Players Give Their In-Character Ideas
One by one, players offer their solution based entirely on their secret role.
- Cowboy: “We lasso the moon back up.”
- Scientist: “We’ll deploy the gravity reverser.”
- Raccoon: “I chew the pipes until they respect me.”
- Royal advisor: “I request a royal decree about balloon replacements.”
- Cowboy: “We lasso the moon back up.”
- Players can act, gesture, whisper dramatically — anything that matches the role.
- Open Voting
After all pitches, players vote for their favorite idea.
- You can’t vote for yourself.
- Tie? Both tied ideas win the round.
The vote isn’t about strategy — it’s about which idea made the table laugh the most.
- You can’t vote for yourself.
- AI Resolution
The AI describes what happens when the winning plan is attempted.
Resolution should be fast, fun, and surprising:
“The wizard’s sleep spell backfires and makes the entire council nap for six hours.” - Next Round
New roles → new crisis → new chaos.
Variant: Open Roles
Roles are revealed up front instead of kept secret.
Players lean into their characters in a more performative way.
Variant: Team Chaos
Players split into two groups.
Each team collaborates on a single in-character plan, then present both plans.
The AI resolves what happens to each team’s scheme (often disastrously).
End of the Game
This game doesn’t require scoring — it can continue for as many rounds as the group wants.
If players want a winner:
- Vote at the end for “Most Legendary Role,” “Funniest Character,” or “Best Chaos Causer.”
Otherwise, just keep playing until the council collapses from laughter.
