How to run it
One man in the chair. Ninety seconds on the clock. Everyone else asks.
The turn
- Questions come from anyone, as fast as they can be asked.
- He answers every one. No passing, no “next”.
- Clock stops for nothing. A long answer is its own defence.
- Chair moves left.
Worth knowing
- Run it later in the evening, not first. It needs a room that has warmed up.
- One rule agreed before you start: anything genuinely off limits is named now, and the room respects it.
- The groom goes last, and gets two minutes.
What you need
- A timer — A phone will do
