1 | Start

Welcome, traveler! You stand at the threshold of possibility, in a realm yet unformed by your imagination.

What kind of world do you wish to explore? A fantasy kingdom? A sci-fi universe? A modern city? Or perhaps somewhere else entirely?

Tell me, and your adventure shall begin.

2 | First, go flibbertigibbeting out the back door. (Not the front. The front is for serious business.)

Ah, a mischievous soul! You flibbertigibbety your way out the back door with practiced ease, leaving the serious front entrance for the stuffy folk.

You emerge into… well, where exactly ARE you? A wizard's tower? A tavern? A spaceship? And what awaits outside this mysterious back door?

3 | Start boondoggling immediately. Commit to it. Boondoggle like your rent depends on it.

You throw yourself into the most magnificent, elaborate boondoggling the multiverse has ever witnessed! You're boondoggling with passion, with vigor, with absolute commitment!

But wait - what exactly are you boondoggling? Magical artifacts? Spaceship parts? Ancient scrolls? And in what kind of world?

Your legendary boondoggling needs a stage!

4 | just the regular city

Excellent! You're in a bustling modern city, boondoggling away on the sidewalk with whatever odds and ends you've found.

People pass by giving you strange looks. A coffee shop sits to your left, office buildings tower above, and a park stretches ahead.

What do you do next?

5 | Shenaniganing is permitted. Tomfoolering is encouraged. A light dusting of razzle-dazzling never hurt anyone, and if you have any razzmatazzing left over from the weekend, use it now before it goes stale.

You unleash a spectacular display of urban shenanigans! Impromptu juggling! Sidewalk chalk art! Finger guns at strangers who actually finger-gun back! Your razzmatazz is fresh!

A street performer nearby grins. A stern security guard from the office building frowns. A group of college students film you, laughing.

What's your next move, magnificent fool?

6 | Take three wibbling steps. Then three topsy-turvying ones. Then a single, dignified whatchamacallit — you'll know it when you do it.

You wibble three glorious steps left. Then topsy-turvy yourself in a spinning wobble for three more. Finally, you execute a perfect whatchamacallit - a dignified leap-bow-twirl that somehow lands you right in front of the coffee shop door.

Inside, someone drops their cup. The barista slow-claps.

Enter the coffee shop, or continue your street ballet?

7 | If a goose appears: honking is the correct response. Match its pitch. Do not break eye contact.

A goose waddles around the corner. It stops. You lock eyes.

The goose honks - a medium C sharp, aggressive and questioning.

The street goes quiet. The barista watches through the window. This is your moment.

Do you match its honk, or has your courage failed you?

8 | Begin jitterbugging down the sidewalk. Transition to moonwalking at the crosswalk. Sock-hop across. Upon reaching the other side, execute one (1) crisp shimmy and resume normal pedestrian behavior, as though nothing has occurred.

You sidestep the goose confrontation and launch into a magnificent jitterbug down the sidewalk! At the crosswalk, you flip seamlessly into a moonwalk. Pedestrians part like the Red Sea.

You sock-hop across during the green light. One driver applauds. You reach the far side, deliver a perfect shimmy, then immediately walk normally, checking your phone like a proper citizen.

Where does your dignified pedestrian journey take you now?
