Hot Potato rules
Hot Potato is the classic hot potato, phone edition. A category pops up, you shout an answer and pass the phone to your neighbor, fast. The fuse is hidden, the ticking speeds up, and nobody knows when it's going to blow.
Whoever's holding the phone at BOOM does a dare, or takes 1 to 3 sips (water and soft drinks count). In "Don't shake it!" mode, a potato shaken too hard explodes sooner. Laughter guaranteed.
An example round
Category: "Something you find in a bathroom". Léa says "toothbrush" and passes to Malik, who shouts "bathrobe!" and passes to Inès. The ticking speeds up, Inès freezes… BOOM! She takes 2 zinzin sips or a dare.
