One person starts by flipping a Pass the Prompt card, choosing a question and asking someone. They then get at least 2 uninterrupted minutes to answer their question. If they run out of things to say before the end of the two-minute timer, everyone stays silent in case they think of something. There is no need to tell them when the two minutes have elapsed. It is a minimum.

By default, there is no maximum speaking time, but you are free to add one if you see that some people are speaking much longer than others ( the suggested maximum is 7 minutes ).

When they have finished answering their question it is their turn to flip a Pass the Prompt card and ask someone else a question.

This pattern continues until everyone has had the opportunity to answer a Pass the Prompt question. The person who asked the first question is the person who answers the last one for each round.

When everyone has had a chance to speak you can decide to do another round of Pass the Prompt, or move on to The Question.

The Question is shared among the group. Participants volunteer to answer it when they feel ready, and can choose to skip it if they are uncomfortable with it.

If someone is uncomfortable with answering The Question, it is a good indication that safety has not yet been established. As such, it is recommended that you do another round of Pass the Prompt to establish safety in the room.

Again, it is of utmost importance that no one interrupt the speakers during The Question, no questions, no comments, nothing, it is their time to share what they want to share, you can discuss their answer then they are done speaking.

It is suggested that speakers stand during The Question so they can easily indicate when they have said everything they want to say by sitting down.

The game ends when everyone has had an opportunity to answer The Question. At which point it is suggested that you transition into unstructured conversation.
