Anyone who...
Also known as: Cross the Circle, Alla som, Jag har aldrig
The group sits in a circle of chairs with one person standing in the middle, who calls out something they might have in common with others — 'anyone who has a dog'. Everyone it is true of has to move to a different chair while the caller takes one, leaving somebody new in the middle. What the group shares becomes visible through who stands up.
- Players choose their own statements, so the depth is set in the room; Trinity's and Improv Encyclopedia's statements of the game give no way to sit out a call that is true but private, while dramaövningar's does — it allows anyone who finds a question too private to stay seated, and that is the version to run
- Fast scrambling between chairs — not neutral where mobility or a recent injury makes that unsafe
