Guess the Action

Guess the Action
Remote or in person

One person turns away. The screen shows the room an action. They turn back to a room already doing it.

The guesser turns their chair to the back wall, the screen shows everyone else an everyday action, and when they turn back the whole room is already doing it. They have to work it out from the room alone. What makes it good is how differently forty people act out the same simple thing.
