We played a game after Wherecamp by drawing random game cards from an iphone. The iphone was connected to a database of user-submitted commands such as the following:

We took turns reading off the rules, but this one was the best:

Pretend you are drunk in Japan

The card told us to “Pretend you are drunk and in Japan”.

So we did.
