On a Scale of One to T-Rex (EN)

Act out a silly prompt with the exact amount of enthusiasm your secret card demands. On a Scale of One to T-Rex is a simultaneous party game about finding the players who are performing at the same intensity as you.

Everyone gets an action to perform and a hidden number that determines how strongly to perform it. One person may give a tiny roar, while another commits to the fullest possible T-Rex. Watch the room, compare performances and try to identify someone whose energy matches your own.

There are no orderly turns, so the entire group performs, moves and guesses at once. The trick is that different actions make intensity difficult to judge: a quiet dance may still be somebody's maximum effort, while a loud meow could be only halfway there. Comparing your interpretations leads to a lot of laughter.

This game is an easy fit for parties and mixed groups willing to look a little ridiculous together. It asks for participation more than acting skill and plays quickly enough for another round with new prompts. Finding your exact match in a room full of competing performances is the whole delightful challenge.
