Similar to Ask and Pass, but opposite! Everyone has a card and a partner. The first partner reads their question on their card and then answers it for her/himself with the opposite of what they really would choose. Then the other partner reads their question and also answers it with the opposite of what they would normally choose for him/herself. When they have both answered, they low five each other, swap cards, and go find a new partner.

Team 1- yellow, teal, welcoming, bright, gray, airy, dirty = 4 points
Team 2- old, worn, yellow, teal, outdated, dirty, ugly, closed = 5 points
