How to play Caveman tech support

Grug the caveman has wandered into your electronics shop and he has questions. Each round shows a modern gadget and what Grug asks about it, like why the flat rock glows or whether the vacuum snake is friendly. You get four explanations and only one of them clicks with caveman logic. The technically accurate answer almost never works. Pick right and Grug buys the gadget with a delighted reaction. Pick wrong and he loses patience, and possibly licks the merchandise. Four wrong answers and he storms out. Your score is the number of gadgets you sold.

Tips

Grug responds to caves, animals, spirits and fair trades, not specifications
The textbook answer is a trap, nobody buys a phone because of its OLED display
Total nonsense fails too, caveman logic is still logic
Read Grug's question carefully, it usually hints at what he cares about

About Caveman tech support

Caveman tech support is a comedy guessing game about translation. Not between languages, but between worldviews. Grug does not want to know how a refrigerator works, he wants to know why winter fits in a box. The right answer is never the technical one and never pure gibberish either. It is the explanation that maps the gadget onto something a caveman already understands: the toaster is a tiny volcano you feed bread to, the doorbell does the yelling so your throat can rest. Every gadget comes with its own reaction when Grug finally gets it, and those reactions are half the reason to keep playing. One run takes a few minutes and there are dozens of gadgets in the shop.
