How to play Side Quest

Everyone gets a secret mission to try during the hangout. Complete yours without making it obvious, and watch for what the others might be attempting.

  1. Choose a session length, then pass the phone to read missions privately. You can swap a mission before accepting it. Do not show yours to the group.

  2. Start the session and continue hanging out while everyone attempts their mission. The timer keeps running in the background; you can end the session early.

  3. At the end, guess what each person was trying to do before revealing their mission. Each player reports whether they succeeded, then everyone sees the results.

  4. No points for this game. The fun is in the discovery and discussion. How many missions succeeded? Did anyone guess your mission? Share stories about who almost caught you or how close others came.
