3 Man Go!

Cricket's favourite game - people talk for each other... player 1 is the voice for player 2, player 2 for 3, and 3 for 1. Play a scene by moving your lips and hoping to God the person being your voice says something intelligible, applicable, and doable. Then when the person you're talking for moves their lips, try to screw them over :)

Chain Murder Endowment

Also known as C.M.E. for short. This game consists of one improvver being given three suggestions: An occupation, a room, and a murder weapon. It is then the job of the first improvver to pass on this information in a scene without using any known language. After the information is passed on, the first improvver is killed, and the next improvver must pass on the information they have gathered to the next person waiting to play.

Complaints Department

The origin of this game is a little foggy- but it somehow came out of the team's morbid love for endowment games. In this game, there are three 'customers' and a complaints department 'clerk'. The 'clerk' leaves the room and the audience chooses a fictional store for the three customers to complain about. The clerk then returns and the customers come up in turn to register complaints about their items. The object of the game is similar to Pawn Shop. The clerk must guess what the store is/ what it sells based on the hints the customers give in their complaints.

Dating Game

Three lucky "bachelors" each with their own quirk that is selected by the audience answer questions, and try to win our lucky bachelorette's heart.

Dead Bodies

This game consists of up to five improvvers. At least three of these improvvers will be "dead bodies", and remain listless throughout the scene. The other two improvvers will act out a scene, using the other three as their characters.

Die!

Three improvvers stand in a line with a fourth sitting in front of them (back to the audience). The fourth person ("the pointer"), essentially conducts the 3 improvvers in the telling of a story as selected by the audience. The storytellers must not start their sentence with "and", "but" or a long pause (or any other preposition, if you want to be complex), or they must suffer death by pantomimed "audience suggestion".

Freeze

A scene carries on until someone (even the audience) yells 'freeze'. The scene freezes and the caller enters, replacing one improvver, keeping the same positions, but changing the scene entirely.

Half Life

Two or more improvvers perform a scene in 30 seconds. Then they must perform the same scene in full detail in only 15 seconds. Then in 7 seconds. Then in 3 seconds.

Half Life go Slow!

Backwards half life... instead of starting with 30 seconds and going slower, start with 15 seconds and increase the time up to 2 minutes (second time around is in 30 seconds, then 1 minute... you get the idea).

Number of Words

3 people are each given a number. Each time they speak, they can use no more or less than that number of words.

One Word Adventure/Narration

Two improvvers tell a story by saying one word at a time. In the narration version, other improvvers come in and act out the story as it's being told.

Oscar Moment

Two improvvers preform a scene, and at random times the audience yells out, "Oscar moment!" The improvver they select must then preform an "Oscar worthy" speech.

Pawn Shop

1 improvver tries to sell an object to another without knowing what the object is.

Scripts

Two people act out a scene. One person is the "straight man" and the other person has a script, and must only speak by using lines from said script.

Sign Language Interpreter

B3n's specialty... basically, someone is the person in the bubble signing what the interviewers are saying to eachother for the hearing impaired. Unfortunately, B3n doesn't know sign language.

Study in the Library

One member of the team approaches the library desk and asks to book a room. Once the task is complete, the rest of the team follows the first team member to the booked room and everyone sits at the table, arguing about who gets to plug into the internet and whether or not any studying is getting done. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Waiting Game

This is a game that Ben2 came across in one of his theatre books, and we've basically turned it into "our game". Three improvvers are all waiting for something. Each improvver is given a suggestion for what they are waiting for, without the other two improvvers knowing. They then preform a scene acting as if they are all waiting for the same thing. It ends with the three improvvers guessing what each other was in the scene.

World's Worst

All the players line up and the host collects suggestions from the audience for mundane every day jobs. The host then reads off one of the audience suggestions.If they have an idea, one (or more) player(s) will step forward to give a short example of the world's worst "whatever the audience suggested".

Zulu

The audience give suggestions for consumer products, and the improvvers must step forward and preform a badly done commercial for each product that the host says.
