Silent Round Rule · Mix & Mingle

Use Silent Round · Mix & Mingle: One round uses gestures only.

  • Use Silent Round · Mix & Mingle: One round uses gestures only.
  • Compatible host: Silent Round · Mix & Mingle. Make seated circles of three to five. Give each person paper, pencil and a set of three PG object cards labelled apple, book and kite; draw the objects too. This house prompt game uses fictional clues, not personal disclosures. Make three clockwise circuits so everyone is clue giver three times and receives the same number of guessing turns. Use the same three object cards throughout. Announce passes and quiet/rest options before starting. Each circle is a separate game; compare scores and allocate any shared points or optional comeback only within it. On each turn one player secretly chooses a card and gives up to three clues without saying its label: for kite, try string, breeze, sky. Each other player may give one spoken, written or pointed guess, or pass. Reveal the card before rotating the clue giver clockwise. In circuit 2 only the clue giver gestures instead of speaking. Guessers may write or point to a label. Any communication needed for access or safety is allowed; the answer remains hidden until guesses finish. If the scheduled clue giver passes or takes a quiet break, the host supplies that clue turn for its scheduled guessers under the round’s communication rules. The scheduled giver still cannot guess on their own turn, including a host-covered turn. Nobody must give clues to preserve others’ offered turns. Each correct guess of the revealed object earns its guesser 1; an incorrect guess or passed guess adds 0. The clue giver does not score on their own clue, and must not show or say the answer early. Compare totals only after all scheduled turns. Highest total within each circle wins; do not compare circles of different sizes; equal totals share the result. Selected rule: Only round/circuit 2 is quiet. Necessary safety and access communication is always allowed; do not impose silence on every round. Use only this selected rule; do not stack other optional twists or the host card’s optional comeback text. Passing never removes later turns. Use PG prompts only, allow passes, never force personal disclosures, keep pathways clear, and provide quiet opt-out seats. No alcohol-pressure games. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

Each other player may give one spoken, written or pointed guess, or pass. Reveal the card before rotating the clue giver clockwise. After scheduled turns, identify the lowest total strictly below the lead; draw one eligible name if tied. Offer that player one extra guess of a fresh clue on one of the three cards, given by the host. If all totals are level, nobody trails and the token is unused. If the scheduled clue giver passes or takes a quiet break, the host supplies that clue turn for its scheduled guessers under the round’s communication rules. The scheduled giver still cannot guess on their own turn, including a host-covered turn. Nobody must give clues to preserve others’ offered turns. Each correct guess of the revealed object earns its guesser 1; an incorrect guess or passed guess adds 0. The clue giver does not score on their own clue, and must not show or say the answer early. The extra turn uses the same scoring and may change the winner. Within each circle, complete the three equal circuits, then its one announced lowest-trailing extra guess. Highest resulting total in that circle wins; equal totals share. Do not compare circles. Selected rule: The host’s single preannounced extra-turn token is the entire comeback allowance. Do not add a second token because this twist is selected; the stated lowest-trailing eligibility and draw settle it. Use only this selected rule; do not stack other optional twists or the host card’s optional comeback text. Passing never removes later turns. Use PG prompts only, allow passes, never force personal disclosures, keep pathways clear, and provide quiet opt-out seats. No alcohol-pressure games. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

Use PG prompts only, allow passes, never force personal disclosures, keep pathways clear, and provide quiet opt-out seats. No alcohol-pressure games. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

If the scheduled clue giver passes or takes a quiet break, the host supplies that clue turn for its scheduled guessers under the round’s communication rules. The scheduled giver still cannot guess on their own turn, including a host-covered turn. Nobody must give clues to preserve others’ offered turns. Each correct guess of the revealed object earns its guesser 1; an incorrect guess or passed guess adds 0. The clue giver does not score on their own clue, and must not show or say the answer early. Compare totals only after all scheduled turns. Highest total within each circle wins; do not compare circles of different sizes; equal totals share the result. Selected rule: A player strictly below the current lead may use the single recorded replacement before their next scheduled turn. No extra attempt, second allowance or post-result swap is added. Use only this selected rule; do not stack other optional twists or the host card’s optional comeback text. Passing never removes later turns. Use PG prompts only, allow passes, never force personal disclosures, keep pathways clear, and provide quiet opt-out seats. No alcohol-pressure games. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

Supply cards showing apple, book and kite, paper, pencils and per-player score sheets. Prepare neutral clues, such as string, breeze and sky for kite. Offer everyone three individual guessing turns instead of comparing different-size circles. In fixed roster order, the host secretly chooses one of the three cards and gives up to three clues without its label. Only that turn’s player gives one spoken, written or pointed guess, or passes. Reveal and record before the next person. Repeat until everyone has three offered turns; passing never costs a later turn. Each correct guess earns 1; a wrong or passed guess earns 0. Add each team’s individual totals and divide by its fixed roster size: totals 1 and 3 give average 2. Include rostered people who passed, not only successful players. After equal scheduled turns per person, highest team average wins; equal averages share. This normalizes team size, not skill. No unequal extra-turn comeback applies. Selected rule: Use the explicit equal per-person schedule and fixed-roster divisor. Do not compare raw totals across different-size groups or add an unequal comeback turn.

The scheduled giver still cannot guess on their own turn, including a host-covered turn. Nobody must give clues to preserve others’ offered turns. Each correct guess of the revealed object earns its guesser 1; an incorrect guess or passed guess adds 0. The clue giver does not score on their own clue, and must not show or say the answer early. Each person who completes the offered script receives 1 process point once; a passed host role adds no deduction. Compare totals only after all scheduled turns. Highest total within each circle wins; do not compare circles of different sizes; equal totals share the result. Selected rule: Read the supplied introduction, pass/access and kindness script before scoring. The script completion process point is awarded once, not again merely for choosing this twist. Use only this selected rule; do not stack other optional twists or the host card’s optional comeback text. Passing never removes later turns. Use PG prompts only, allow passes, never force personal disclosures, keep pathways clear, and provide quiet opt-out seats. No alcohol-pressure games. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
