Blind Typing

You set a timer for 5 minutes, and set up two keyboards facing each other with no screens.

Two people have to type for five minutes straight – with a limited set pause of a second or two allowed between strokes. The people can’t see what they’re typing (but it’s recorded with a phone or computer), and… they have to maintain eye contact the entire time, or they lose.

You’d have to set up a program that would cut the person off if they pause too long in between letters - the idea is to keep a consistent, and almost frantic pace as they simultaneously stare into the eyes of a stranger.

After the timer is done and they have a laugh and take a breath — and they aren’t told this beforehand — they have to read their piece out loud.

Tell me you wouldn’t watch that, and I’ll call you a liar.
