Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting. Clear enough movement space for the group and mark boundaries before play.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Teach the three gestures and which character beats which.
- Split into two teams and give them a few seconds to choose secretly.
- Teams face each other and reveal on the count of three.
- Award a point to the winning team.
- Play best of five or seven.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Add a themed chase only if the space is large and safe; otherwise keep it as a reveal-and-score game.
Make it a great round
Keep rounds short, demonstrate the movement, and reset the play area before the next round.
Keep everyone comfortable
Clear the play area, set boundaries, avoid contact, and offer a lower-impact or seated alternative when needed.
