How to play

1. Give the group an order to line up in: birthday through the year, height, distance travelled to get here.
2. No talking. No writing. Gestures only.
3. Give them a target time — three minutes is generous.
4. Check the line by having everyone say their answer down the row.
5. Run a second round with a harder category.

Variations

• Birthday is the easiest to verify and the best one to start with.
• Eyes closed for a much harder version, if the space is safe for it.
