Trend formats

From Clip to Living Room

A format is simply a pattern: reveal, timer, reaction, repeat. You can borrow the pattern without chasing a ranking, a platform or a perfect take.

The before-and-after guess

Fold a paper so one person draws a head, another a body, another feet. Unfold at the end. It is a classic structure for good reason.

Keep it kind

The pass-along build

Each team adds one block or one word before passing the turn. The shared constraint is the entertainment.

Set the pace

Leave the camera out.

An offline version has one quiet advantage: nobody needs to look good while doing it. Say at the start that photos and recordings are opt-in. The group can enjoy a moment without turning it into content.
