The Ring

What's the first thing you'd do with the ring, honestly?

The Ring

A shepherd finds a ring that makes him invisible whenever he turns it. No cameras, no witnesses, no record. He can walk into any house, any bank, any room where people are talking about him. The story says he used it to take a kingdom.

What's the first thing you'd do with the ring, honestly?

Then ask

  • Is there anything you currently don't do only because you'd be caught?
  • If you'd behave exactly the same, is that because you're good or because you can't imagine the freedom?
  • Would you want a friend to have one?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
