Spaceteam

Everyone gets a spaceship console full of buttons that don't do what they say, and instructions meant for someone else's screen. The only way through is to shout.

Verdict: free, just go

Orders for someone else's phone

Spaceteam hands everyone a ship console covered in buttons that don't match their labels, then floods your screen with instructions meant for someone else's console. The only way through is to shout them ("SET THE PHASE DAMPENER TO SEVEN") across a kitchen table or a video call, before the timer runs out and the ship takes damage. Nobody can read their own orders off someone else's phone, so the room ends up giving commands and failing to follow them at the same time.

Rounds run five to ten minutes and leave the room sounding like a submarine losing power. Free, no setup beyond opening the app, over before anyone gets precious about the rules.

Not your panel

Incoming order

Set the Manifold Cravat to six.

Your panel

The Manifold Cravat is on somebody else’s phone. Louder, then.

Every instruction you get is for somebody else’s panel. Shouting it across the table is not a side effect of the game, it is the mechanic, and your hands are only there for whatever gets shouted back.
