Game Details

• Number of Players: 6 to No Maximum
• Minimum Age: 8 years
• Duration: 30-60 minutes
• Required Items: List of awkward situations

Setup

• Prepare the Space: Make sure there is enough space for all players to stand comfortably in a circle or a designated area.
• Create or Acquire a List: Prepare a list of awkward situations. You can use a pre-made list or a random awkward situation generator.

Game Rules

Starting the Game:

• All players start by standing up in the designated area.
• Choose one player to read the awkward situation. Rotate the reader after a few rounds to give everyone a chance to participate.

Reading the Situations:

• The reader begins by reading the first awkward situation aloud.
• All players listen carefully to the situation being described.

Sitting Down:

• Players who have not experienced the described awkward situation must sit down.
• Those who have experienced the situation remain standing.

Continue the Process:

• The reader continues to read through the list of awkward situations.
• After each situation, players who have not experienced it sit down.

Determining the Winner:

• The last player standing wins the game.
• This player is considered the most awkward (or the luckiest for having so many shared experiences).

Optional Rule – Sharing Stories:

• To enhance the game, allow players who remain standing after each round to briefly share their related experience. This storytelling element can lead to more laughter and bonding.

Example Awkward Situations

• Tripping over nothing in public
• Waving at someone who was actually waving at someone else
• Accidentally replying all to an email
• Getting caught singing out loud in the car
• Forgetting someone’s name immediately after being introduced
• Realizing there’s no toilet paper after you’ve already gone

Tips for a Fun Game

• Encourage honesty. The game is more enjoyable when players genuinely share their experiences.
• Keep the atmosphere light and humorous. The goal is to laugh at shared human experiences, not to embarrass anyone.
• Be inclusive and considerate of all ages and backgrounds when selecting awkward situations.
