The Way You Do It

The Way You Do It
Remote or in person

One person turns away. The room gets a secret way of doing everything. They work out what it is.

The guesser turns their chair to the back wall while the screen gives everyone else a secret β€” like you are in a big hurry. Then the whole room does ordinary things that way: answering a phone, making tea. Working out the secret from forty people making tea in a hurry is a properly good puzzle.
