Jumper

You need:
At least 5 people.
A chair.

How to play:
Within the group, two members are assigned a cop and a jumper. The cop leaves the room, while the jumper gets on the chair.

The rest of the audience gives the jumper:
...an identity,
...a reason to jump,
...and what will stop him from jumping.

The cop then comes back in the room, and asks the jumper these 3 things. The jumper must give clues to the cop to make him guess, with out saying the answer or any of the words in the answer. Its kind of like taboo with a storyline.

Example:
Cop: Who are you?
Jumper: Well, I live in a pineapple, under the sea.
Cop: YOU'RE SPONGEBOB! Why do you want to jump?
Jumper: My pink friend, he did something.
Cop: What did he do?
Jumper: He put something in his mouth, something delicious with frosting.
Cop: Patrick at your cake!? What can I do to make you not jump!?
Jumper: I have an animal at my house.. He's starving.
Cop: What kind of animal?
Jumper: He's like a slug, with a shell.
Cop: You want me to feed your pet snail!?
Jumper: Yes! You saved me!

If the jumper wasn't allowed to say any words such as "Spongebob, Patrick, ate, cake, snail, feed, or pet."

Of course, the three topics can be completely unrelated to each other, but this was just an example.

After the cop saves the jumper, choose two new people as the cop and jumper.
