#XploreMore 2014 - task 11 - Play the YES game (avoid saying YES for an hour)

Challenge 11 – avoid saying yes for an hour

We’ve played this game before but the rules included not saying yes or no. After many failed attempts it was Amy who finally managed to succeed in completing this challenge. Her strategy was to avoid speaking as much as possible so as not to be caught out. Unlike in previous games, this took on a more collaborative feel; we wanted to succeed and therefore did not try to catch each other out (well, of course we did at the start but once we kept failing the tactics changed!)

Playing this game makes you realise how often and how absent-mindedly you say the words yes, or yeah, and no.

Get it? (Yes or no)
