Hot Seats is a musical chairs-inspired game played with a circle of chairs and a group of players. At the start of the game, each player is given goals that can be completed to earn points, such as sitting next to a specific other player, convincing a certain player to move, and helping another player achieve their goal. It utilizes a combination of individual and group goals to require both strategic thinking and careful negotiation, creating an incredibly unique experience that provides insight into how people work together under pressure.
is a playful reflection of an inherently human experience – finding balance between achieving our individual goals and doing right by our communities. Its focus on fast-paced negotiation and multi-person strategy allows us to explore the dynamics of collaboration between small groups of people in a fun, musical chairs-inspired game environment. Its physical, face-to-face nature allows players to interact and strategize the same way they would in real-world negotiation scenarios and engage in playful physical action with one another, making it a compelling experience in its own right.
