Stand by Your Answer

Stand by Your Answer
Needs a room

This wall means yes, that one means no. Go and stand by what you think.

You put a statement up and people physically go and stand where they land on it, with the middle of the room meaning undecided. Seeing where a room actually stands, in bodies rather than a show of hands, changes the conversation that follows.
