ShortformBeginner2 players5 minTime this

🎓 Tips

When asking the audience, keep the complain generic. For example, you complain to amazon, not you complain to amazon because your package was late. The improvisers will find the reason. During the complain letter, focus on how this problem affected you, what personal impact it has and consequences, tell stories, etc. As the complainer, in your letter, ask for crazy things, compensation. It can be fun to list things, and 'torture' your play partner. Using 'And' while listing things keeps your partner having to find reasons / words (don't abuse it though) While answering, it often works to make fun of the one sending the letter. Don't answer his problem, make fun of it.
