Context Matters

One performance. Two stories.

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

One performance. Two stories. Misunderstanding is the point. Play 64 surprising scenario pairs with friends, take turns acting, and measure the audience's reaction. The actor knows one story. The audience knows another. Everyone sees the same performance. Context Matters is an in-person party game where a simple change of context turns ordinary acting into unexpected comedy. Gather your group, pass one iPhone or iPad, and see how differently the same actions can be understood. HOW TO PLAY 1. The actor privately reads a scenario. 2. The audience reads a different scenario while the actor looks away. 3. Put the device down and tap Next to begin acting. 4. Perform without words while the audience watches through an entirely different lens. For example, the actor might be defusing a bomb while the audience thinks they are decorating a birthday cake. INCLUDED • 64 distinct actor-and-audience scenario pairs. • Adjustable time for reading prompts and performing. • An optional audience reaction meter that responds to sound level. • A case-file-inspired interface for iPhone and iPad. • A Settings form for emailing your own scenario ideas to Mortimer. Free to download and play, with no in-app purchases or subscriptions. No account is required. C Sound is analyzed on your device and is never recorded, saved, transcribed, or uploaded. The meter responds to sound level; it does not identify laughter or understand speech. You can play without it.
