Five Things

Performance game: a variation on the improv game "Five Things", presented by Myles Nye (Owler) at Equinox 51. 

Two clue givers attempt to get a guesser to perform a commonplace activity with outrageous modifications, giving clues only in pantomime and gibberish. For instance, the guesser might have to sail a boat but the boat is a piano, the water is Jell-O, and the sail is a kazoo. When the guesser thinks he has all the elements, he performs the activity and the emcee will ask the guesser to announce what he is doing. In this version, the audience also tries to guess the modifications, as well as the wordplay characteristic they share, such as "ends with an O", "A is the only vowel", or "the last two letters are a chemical symbol".
