Tips for a better round

1. Make people commit. “Both” and “neither” don’t count. Picking is the whole game.
2. Let the kids read. Kids love being the one asking the questions, and adults answer more honestly when a child is waiting.
3. Mix the rounds. Start funny, slip in a hard one, then go back to something silly.
