💡 The Spark
🤣 What is the comedy improv short-form game, "New Choice"
- which sparked the improv board game New Choice: Improv Your Life?
Picture this: actors start improvising a scene based on a suggestion from the crowd, but the host has the power to yell "New Choice!" at any moment. This means the actors have to come up with new lines instantly - on a whim - until the host is happy.
This can completely flip the scene around, making it super exciting and unpredictable!
