The Black Mirror Dinner
A night of impossible questions. Would you clone yourself? Upload your mind? Take a pill that guarantees success but removes the ability to fall in love? Best deployed after the second glass, when the table stops hedging and starts actually answering.
What it's for
Use impossible scenarios to surface real values — people reveal more through hypotheticals than through direct questions.
The guest's job
Answer the question seriously; no "it depends" hedging allowed once the second drink has arrived.
The vote
After each scenario: show of hands, then the minority position explains itself to the table.
The reveal
The host’s final scenario — the one held back until the end because it’s the most destabilizing.
Food & drink spine
A relaxed dinner that doesn’t demand attention; the questions are the whole menu.
Conversation fuel
"Which answer surprised you about yourself?"
How it flops — steer around it
Questions with easy answers. The best Black Mirror scenarios have no clearly correct position and at least two people in the room who split hard.
