[edit] Origins
This game was created by Andy "Quasar" Ober because he thought the game Party Quirks to be somewhat boring and overplayed.
[edit] Setup
[edit] Necessary Equipment
- Sound Proof Room or Hallway
[edit] Performers
This game is usually for 4 performers.
[edit] Leaving the Room
One person must leave the room while the emcee takes suggestions.
[edit] Audience Suggestions
The three remaining performers will be employees at a Bank which is to be robbed by the person who left the room.
The emcee will take suggestions for identities, characteristics, and processes for the 3 bank employees. Occupations are not solicited, as Bank Employee is there occupation.
[edit] Rules
After the suggestions have been taken, the 3 people will positions in the mimed bank. The audience will then yell
ROBBERY, ROBBERY, ROBBERY!
or alternatively
BANKING BANKING BANKING! (suggested by Andrew "Peace" Blatt)
to summon the person who left the room. This person will then proceed to rob the bank, while trying to ascertain the identities of his victims.
[edit] Traditions
This game is relatively new, so traditions are not well-rooted.
[edit] Memorable Games
- At the Spring 2006 Semester Finale, Paul "CMG" Kuliniewicz's character was Andy "Quasar" Ober. He hinted at this several times by suggesting that the combination to the safe might be Pi Pi Pi.
- In the same game, Stu "Bottle Opener" Ogle's character was "Having Shoes Thrown at Him." The audience responded in kind, as more than a dozen shoes were tossed onto the stage from all sections of the crowd.
- Birth of Never seen that show.
