2. Have one person from each group start by being “it”. The “it” person tries not to smile or laugh throughout the round. The person on the left of the person who is “it” tries to make the person smile or laugh within 15 seconds by only asking questions. Each time the person asks a question, the “it” person can only respond by saying the phrase “Honey, I love you, but I just can’t smile.”

3. If the person succeeds and makes the “it” person smile/laugh, then that person is “it” for the new round. If the person doesn’t succeed, the next person down the line attempts to make the “it” person smile or laugh within 15 seconds. If the “it” person is able to not smile/laugh throughout all of the remaining people, the person wins the game.
