Odd One Out

Odd One Out
Remote or in person

Three things on the screen. Argue for a different one being the odd one out.

You show three things and groups have to justify each one being the odd one out β€” all three, not just the obvious one. It is four minutes of proper thinking, it has no right answer, and the third justification is always the interesting one.
