infinite money glitch — shape card

Fairytale Bods hands two of you sixteen shapes from the stories everyone half-remembers and asks you to become them properly. All That Fuss Over A Pea wants a stack of mattresses nobody can actually sleep on; Get. A. Haircut. asks for a tower and a very long plait, which takes real cooperation to hold; Infinite Money Glitch turns straw into gold without anyone explaining how, which is exactly how the original goes too. It's the pack that turns a rainy day into once upon a time, and turns two people into an argument over who's the troll and who's just crossing the bridge. Auntie Zeffie judges each attempt like she's heard the story before and isn't buying the ending. No props, no actual pumpkins required — just two people and a phone propped where it can see you both. Sixteen shapes, eight dealt a round, so the ending's different every time. Good for a wet afternoon and someone who still remembers all the words.

How it works

  1. The card flips.
  2. You've got 10 seconds for the two of you to work out who's what and make the shape together.
  3. Bods! The camera catches it, Auntie Zeffie scores it and judges you.
  4. Share the result, or don't.
