[edit] Origins

This game was created by Andy "Quasar" Ober as part of a series of Jew-ifications of classic improv games.

[edit] Setup

[edit] Necessary Equipment

• sound proof room or hallway

[edit] Performers

This is a game for 3 improvisationalists.

[edit] Leaving the Room

One performer (whom we'll call the guesser) should leave the room while audience suggestions are taken.

[edit] Audience Suggestions

The emcee (typically Andy Ober) will obtain suggestions of 3 activities related to Judaism. Just as in 3 Things the emcee will then replace 1 or 2 typical aspects of each activity with a Non Sequitur.

One of the things may end up like this:

GUESSER is making unleavened bread, but instead of baking it in an oven, he's baking it in permafrost, and instead of mixing it in a bowl, he's actually mixing it in a ferret.

[edit] Rules

After the suggestions are gathered the Audience will call the person who left the room back in by yelling THINGIES! THINGIES! THINGIES!

The other 2 performers will then have 3 minutes to convey the 3 suggestions this person using only Mime and Gibberish.

[edit] Traditions

Traditionally this game is played when Andy "Quasar" Ober is the emcee.
