Party Favors

Party Favors, AKA Party Island, Party, or Party Parpo Island, is a short form game involving four people. Before the game begins, one person will be chosen to act as the host, a person of authority in the scene. The host must then leave the room until the game begins. While the host is gone, each of the three remaining improvisers must be given a role that they must embody. These roles should be someone with a particular behavior, or an abstract concept, like the changing or the four seasons. Once all three improvisers know their role, the host will be called back to the room, and the location of the game will be decided from the audience. The game starts with the host preparing the space, or simply being there, depending on the location. Each of the characters will walk into the scene one at a time, acting out their roles and doing bits based off of them. The host is in charge of the scene, deciding who to talk to or ask questions. At the end of the scene, the host must guess the identities of the three characters.

Tips

 * The host is in full control of the scene; only the person he is talking to should be talking, with the other improvisers waiting their turn or doing small bits related to their character.
 * The game is best when the improvisers completely embody their characters.
 * When the host isn't talking to a character, they should be using the free time to think of bits to use when it is their turn.
