HOW TO PLAY
1

Choose one player to be the postman, who steps just outside the room or into a separate hallway.

2

The postman knocks and announces that they have a delivery, then calls the name of one guest to come out and collect it.

3

The named guest steps out to meet the postman privately for a brief agreed exchange, such as a quick dare, compliment, or kiss on the cheek, depending on the group's comfort level.

4

That guest then becomes the new postman and returns to knock and call the next name.

5

Play continues rotating through the group until everyone has had a turn being both postman and guest.

6

The game naturally winds down once the group decides to stop or move on to another activity.
