Where Am I?

GAMEPLAY
The first player writes five locations (e.g., a bowling alley, an office, a mountainside, outer space, a kitchen) down on a
piece of paper, showing their list to no one by placing it face down. The player chooses a location from their list and pantomimes
one or more actions that might be performed there (e.g., bowling, typing, hiking, fixing the Hubble telescope,
cooking).

The rest of the players try to guess where she/he is. Once the place is correctly guessed, the performer does
the same for the other locations on their list until they run out of time, or all five locations are correctly guessed. The
game is done when each player has had a chance to perform.
Example: The player pantomimes actions that reveal their environment, such as typing to indicate being in an office or
hiking uphill to indicate being on a mountainside.
SCORING (Individual) Two points awarded to the performer for each correct guess
TIMING One minute
TURNS Each one-minute pantomime counts as one turn.
MATERIALS Timer, pen or pencil, paper
ROLES Player/performer, guessers, facilitator (times the turns, provides an impartial opinion if needed)
SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS Changing the number of locations or the time limit
