Which one to start with
With a big group or people who don't play many games, start with Bluff Buffet. Everyone writes one sentence a round and the reveal gets laughs right away.
With 4 to 8 people who like to argue, play Impasta. A round takes about five minutes.
With 2 to 5 people and a spare hour, play Breadwinner.

- The screen shows a four-letter room code and a QR code.
- Everyone opens eatnow.lol/play on their phone and types the code with their name.
- The first person to open the room is the host and taps Start.
