What qualifies as 'Lumon weirdness'?

Any moment that emphasizes Lumon's creepy corporate culture counts. Examples include the break room, the goats, bizarre perks like finger traps, or Mark's awkward interactions with management.

What’s a 'mysterious clue' in this context?

A mysterious clue is any new piece of information that hints at the larger secrets of Lumon. Think cryptic symbols, hidden maps, or puzzling details in the characters' environments.

What happens if there are multiple triggers in a short time?

You drink for each trigger individually. For example, if an elevator scene includes a creepy moment and leads to a major reveal, you drink three times,once for each trigger.

How do I keep track of all the rules during the game?

Designate a 'rule enforcer' to call out triggers and ensure no one misses a drink. Alternatively, you can pause after big moments like major reveals to catch up, especially if the drinks are flowing fast.

Tips & Strategies

Keep track of how often elevator scenes happen,they sneak up on you, and everyone drinks each time. Pay close attention during office rituals like 'The Dance of Gratitude,' as they tend to escalate quickly into multiple triggers. During innie/outie transitions, make sure someone calls out the switch to avoid missing drinks. For major reveals, finish your drink enthusiastically,it's part of the drama, and everyone's reaction makes the moment even better.

Variations

Add rules for drinking whenever a character stares at the Lumon logo or when a philosophical quote is mentioned.: During office scenes, assign each player a character; they drink whenever that character speaks, performs a ritual, or mentions Lumon.: At the start of the game, each player picks a unique rule from the list,only they drink for it. Everyone still drinks for elevator scenes and major reveals.
