Three actors start on stage and the host gets a favorite movie, childhood story, etc. from the audience. The actors are timed and have to act out the entire story in just 60 seconds. Once the minute is up, the same story is performed again in 30 seconds, then 10, so on and so forth.

For this game, the stage is divided into three visible areas. Using audience suggestions, each area of the stage is assigned an emotion. As the actors perform the scene they must exhibit the emotion of the area they're standing in. Should they move across the stage for any reason, their emotion should also change along with the new area of the stage they are standing in.

One actor begins a scene as a retail employee working at a return center. They look at a list to see what item the next actor will be returning and then they will offer hints to the entering actors until they are able to determine what they’re returning.

One actor plays an interviewer, the context could be something like a television talk show, a game show, a job interview, or a dating show. The scene begins with the interviewing actor closing out the interview. Example: in a job interview setting it may end with, “Thanks for coming in, I’m proud to say, you’ve got the job!” The other actor then offers the line of dialogue that came before the closing. After that, the interviewing actor would ask the question that was asked to get the answer just given.

Actors form two lines on the side of the stage and two actors step into the center. These two actors play a simple game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" but the catch is, each actor can transform into any object, person, or abstract construct that they'd like. An audience member may be the judge of each match up. When an actor is defeated, they hop back in line and another actor takes their place.

Actors form a line at the back of the stage. The host draws slips of paper out of a Pony Bucket and reads them aloud. The actors then step forward and attempt to act out as many variations of the scene as possible. When there’s no action happening, the host will draw out the next slip.

One actor portrays "Scrooge" and must leave the room while the audience offers suggestions for a past misgiving, a current bad behavior or action, and a future consequence. Another actor acts as a clue-giver and the other actors portray the various ghosts visiting Scrooge. The ghosts act out, without speaking, the suggestions from the audience in the past, present, and future order while the clue-giver drops hints for the Scrooge actor.

This game takes a lot of inspiration from the television show, “Shark Tank.” Three actors start on stage playing investors looking for new ideas to spend their money on. Individual actors then enter the stage one at a time to pitch their invention, business, or idea. The pitch can utilize other actors to “model,” “demonstrate,” or play off of. Once the pitch is completed the investors should ask questions of the presenter. Once questions are answered the investors will decide if they want to give them money. Then the next actor will enter and make their pitch.

The audience writes famous quotes, slogans, movie lines, etc. on paper slips and put them into a cup. The actors split these lines between themselves and put them in their pockets. The host gets a suggestion for a scene and the actors start a scene. At random times, the actors pull one line out of their pocket and use it as a line of dialogue in the scene.

Three actors start on stage. At any point in the scene the actors must always be sitting, standing, or lying down. The catch is, there can never be more than one person in any of these three positions. For example, if an actor sits, then the actor that was previously sitting either needs to stand up or lie down. In addition, any actor that moves needs to justify why they did in a way that makes sense in the scene.
