How to play Hot Potato
- Someone gets the potato and a quick challenge, like naming three animals.
- Do it out loud, then tap "Pass it" on your phone.
- The potato jumps to someone else.
- Nobody knows when it pops. Don't be holding it!
Hot Potato brings back pass the parcel energy. Each holder gets a quick spoken challenge, does it out loud and passes the potato on. The fuse is random and hidden from every device, so nobody can see it coming. Getting burned just means a funny moment, not being knocked out, so everyone keeps playing.
