Watch an alien encounter film and tick off moments as an unknown signal repeats, a translation attempt fails or a visitor reacts to human food. See which familiar sci-fi cues appear.

How to run this activity

Choose a suitable event, film or licensed music playlist in advance; tick only cues actually observed or heard. Do not use copyrighted film stills, lyrics, artwork or branded franchise logos as official RoomZing template content. Provide accessible alternatives to sound-only cues.

Facilitator guidance

Preview your chosen film and check which cues occur and how often. Aim for a single line rather than a full card, making sure five in a row is realistically achievable. Replace unlikely cues and offer substitutes where needed.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to share private information. Use original prompts and visuals, and check that your chosen content is suitable and that you have any necessary permission or licence to use the media. Do not include franchise logos, protected artwork, film stills or reproduced lyrics in game materials.
