What is FOTO?
FOTO stands for "From Obstacles to Outcomes", and the game's objective is to generate as many outcomes as you can in the allotted time – 15 minutes for a table group working together in the Lite edition, or 3-4 minutes per rotation (plus some changeover time) through the Classic edition’s roles of client, coach, and host.
As well as an objective, 15-minute FOTO has rules, two of them – it is a game after all! They make it a generative process:
- You can only ask questions from the card
- For the X's in many of the questions, you must use previous answers or fragments thereof, verbatim
There are no wrong answers, but the intent of the questioning should be to elicit outcomes in a spirit of curiosity, not to fish for solutions (suggesting solutions isn’t possible within the rules). In view of the game’s objective, questioners – 'coaches' – are advised not to waste time digging into obstacles; however, some quick clarification may be helpful.
