Summary

In Fact Finder, players line up facing a Director. After the audience gives a topic — say, "gardening" — the Director points at players one by one. When it's your turn, fire off a quick fact about the topic. After a string of facts, the Director calls "Let's see it!" and the players jump into a short scene (about 30 seconds) based on the very last fact. Then it's back to the line, a fresh topic, and around again for a few rounds.
