How to play
- Have everyone find a partner and play a quick game of rock, paper, scissors, best of three.
- The loser becomes the winner's biggest fan, following them and cheering their name loudly.
- Winners find another winner to play, while their fans cheer them on.
- Each time someone loses, they and all of their fans join the new winner's cheering section.
- Keep going until only two players remain, each backed by half the room, and play a dramatic final.
Tips
- Players who prefer not to move around can stay seated and have opponents come to them, with fans gathering nearby.
- Remind everyone that cheering for others is the real point, so losing early is the most fun role.
Variations
- Silent fans: cheer only with waves and gestures for a quieter space.
- Theme moves: swap the three hand shapes for a team-made trio, like wizard, giant and elf.
