Game Library: “Bad Extra”

I first came across the mischief-inviting game with my Gorilla Theatre company and it’s been a favorite ever since.

In a… blog entry, with a… heaping helping of suggestions, while a… reader contemplates the scenic possibilities.

Few scenes guarantee a more epic ending than “Famous Last Words.”

You can never truly know just who will walk through that door in “Here They Come!”

Everyone gets a little chance to shine in the short-form game, “Emotional Door.”

“Chapters” mixes up the order of the dramatic action in a dynamic and challenging way.

Have you experienced the ensemble delights of “The Café?”

The physical playfulness and energy of this game can provide a nice short-form “out” if the energy of your show is sagging a little.

I like that this games requires players to both give and receive clues as the scene unfolds.

Does anyone use a “Typewriter” any more? Here’s a new game with an old name.
