The Emergency Holiday

Invent and begin a tiny at-home holiday for a fictional short break, using only what is already around or pure imagination.

Estimated time
15–20 minutes
Optional supplies
None required. Optional: a blanket, a note card, or music already available to you.

Finish when: Finish with exactly three free stops: two players choose one each, then the third together; picture or try stop one while seated.

The activity

Do this together, at your own pace.

Each step is an action you can try now. There is no timer or required setup.

  1. Declare a pretend break

    Choose a gentle fictional reason for an unexpected break, such as a rainy-day holiday or a celebration of finishing an ordinary task. Say aloud that this is make-believe, not a real emergency.

  2. Pick a destination without traveling

    Invent a place you can visit in your imagination or theme the room you are already in. Use only what is on hand; a name and a description are enough.

  3. Plan three tiny stops

    Make exactly three stops: one player chooses the arrival, a second player chooses the pleasant activity, and everyone chooses the restful ending together. Keep every stop free, optional, and possible while seated.

  4. Start the holiday

    Picture or try one small moment from the first stop: offer an imaginary welcome, settle comfortably, or describe the view at your invented destination. No timer is needed.

Your finish condition: Finish with exactly three free stops: two players choose one each, then the third together; picture or try stop one while seated.

Play with your people

Choose your group size.

Couple (2)

With two players, each chooses one of the first two itinerary stops; choose the third stop together. Picture or try the first stop while seated.

Friends (3-6)

With 3–6 players, have two players each choose one itinerary stop, then choose the third together. Others can suggest ideas for the group to consider.

Keep it comfortable

Make it fit the moment.

Low-key alternative

Stay seated and complete the same three-stop choice: each of two players chooses one stop, and together choose the third. Picture a moment from the first stop to finish.

Safety and comfort

This is a pretend holiday, not advice for a real emergency. Do not leave home, spend money, prepare food, or use an item that is not already available and comfortable. Stay seated if preferred; do not share private details. Quiet participation and passing are welcome, and anyone may pause, skip, or stop.
