How to play Reverse Interview
Interview someone — without using words You're the interviewer but you can only ask questions by acting out the answer you're looking for. The other person has to figure out what you're asking and give a real answer.

How to play
- One person is the interviewer, one is the guest.
- The interviewer wants to find out a specific fact (e.g., 'what's your job?').
- Instead of asking, they must act out what the answer might look like.
- The guest guesses what question is being asked, then answers for real.
- Others judge if the guest got the question right.
Example round
- Interviewer mimes typing at a keyboard. Guest: 'Are you asking what I do for work? I'm a designer.'
- Interviewer acts out eating, sleeping, looking at a phone in a loop. Guest: 'My daily routine? Wake up, eat, doom-scroll, sleep.'
Tips
- The more specific the question, the funnier the mime attempt.
- Great questions to mime: 'What's your biggest fear?', 'What's your guilty pleasure?'
