Your Mission
Use Friends Restaurant Tabletop Tiny Zine Swap to create a specific, welcoming free-time adventure with a clear beginning, useful finish, and room for every participant to contribute.
What You'll Need
- One clean sheet of paper per person
- Pens or pencils
- A quiet table surface
- Optional paper clips
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Ask the group whether a quiet paper activity fits the restaurant's setting, then keep all supplies contained and away from dishes.
- 2
Fold each sheet into a small eight-panel booklet without tearing it, labeling the front panel with an invented zine title.
- 3
Choose three menu-inspired prompts, such as a color, a flavor word, or a fictional special, and assign one prompt to each inner panel.
- 4
Draw or write for five minutes, then pass the zine to a friend who adds one supportive caption or tiny illustration.
- 5
Unfold the zines at the end, share a favorite panel, and pack the paper away before leaving the table.
Quest Challenge
Can every zine include one page that makes a friend laugh without using a private joke that excludes anyone?
Pro Tip
Simple prompts prevent blank-page hesitation and keep the activity short enough to respect a shared meal.
Safety First
Keep paper, pens, and hands away from food and hot dishes, follow venue policies, and stop the activity if it distracts from staff or other diners.
