Party plan

Alternate-Universe Reunion

Attend the reunion for a shared past that never actually happened.

6–14 people45 min prep

Guests arrive as alternate versions of themselves from one fictional institution—a failed space camp, a tiny wizard college, or a suspicious cruise-ship orchestra. No acting experience or elaborate costume is needed.

Before guests arrive

  • Choose one fictional institution and send three disputed memories in advance.
  • Ask guests for a former role, current update, and optional character name.
  • Prepare conversation cards that connect people without forcing performance.

The three moments

1

Choose the shared history

Send a short premise plus three facts everyone remembers differently. Guests invent one former role and one unfinished rivalry.

2

Mix through memories

Conversation cards ask who caused the blackout, what happened to the mascot, and why the reunion was delayed.

3

Take the class photo

Arrange everyone by fictional superlative and caption an instant photo with the group’s newly agreed history.
