Make paper tickets and write cooperative rewards such as choose the next song, add a doodle to the scoreboard, or pick the next challenge.

Take turns earning tickets, with each player able to ask for a retry or choose a quieter observer role.

Trade tickets at the booth, celebrate the shared rewards, and recycle or store the cardboard when the game ends.
