How to use these at the pub
Pub prompts should be easy to join mid-conversation. Choices, table votes, and tiny games work well because nobody needs the backstory to understand what is happening.
Keep it relaxed for mixed groups. A good prompt gives friends, family, and quieter people a simple way in without turning the table into a formal icebreaker session.
Good for the middle of the table.
Pass the phone round, read one card, then let the group take over.
