CraigsLUST Games: Speed Dating

When I set out to create CraigsLUST, I wanted to do some story-based long-form improv. However, I also realized that so much of the fun of Missed Connections and online dating in general was some of the ridiculous situations that arise, and the people one meets. Finally, there was the elephant in the room that people were terrified that they would meet serial killers by replying to Craigslist ads. I wanted to address as many of these as I could in individual games. During the Fringe Preview, we played "Me & You" (see a video), and we have invented the "Stalker Endowment" game. We are also planning on playing Missed Connections "Bad Libs" and a sexy workplace game we call the "Sexy Machine". One of my absolute favorite games is called "Speed Dating". For this game, we took an existing exercise where you try to make one person laugh by going over-the-top. In our case it usually ends up being incredibly sexy or incredibly creepy. See for yourself:
