Game / activity

Right Up His Alley ↗

Source excerpt ↗ 40:24–53:12

How this one works

Premise
  1. It is a scientific fact that all fictional heroes go to heaven. And upon passing the Burley Gates, they are welcomed with a surprise party. One of the perks of being a podcaster is getting tickets to attend such functions. So let's talk about what's in store for Norm.
How it works
  1. there is a benefit because you have to understand these surprise parties. They're always a potluck. And as attendees, we are going to have to bring a dish to the event. So what foods are you guys going to bring to Norm's party?
  2. So he gets three surprises and we're each going to list one. What are they going to be?
Scoring
  1. This game doesn't have a format where there are winners and losers, but Brad is definitely losing.
Recorded activity context

that's a good point.
